This collaboration was inspired by Valerie’s newly launched Children’s book “Somebody to Love”, the story of her banjolele. Her Giving Tuesday Banjolele will benefit is Literacy Mid South, who have the mission to provide literacy resources to learners of all backgrounds and ages. They serve all the Mid-South, from adults to children.
Literacy Mid-South improves the quality of life in their community through education by providing literacy programs for adults and children as well as a network of collaborative projects with some of the Mid-South’s finest educational organizations. Their organization was formed to help people of all ages and backgrounds achieve the critical literacy skills they need to navigate the world. They are a group of passionate staff, volunteers, board, and community organizations dedicated to making the Mid-South a community actively engaged in continuous learning. For more than 45 years, enduring changes in its programs, leadership, and even its name, Literacy Mid-South has stayed true to the vision that inspired its creation in 1974: to bring the gift of literacy to people of the Mid-South.
Often called a banjolele, simply strum a few chords and you will be taken to a land without the stress and distractions of the daily routine. The nylon strings make playing easy on your fingers and the small size and light weight allows you to take this instrument with you literally anywhere – the beach, the office, camping, boating – you name it! Made in America.
