Posted By: Brandalyn Gill on February 05, 2020 NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – January 2, 2020 Contact: Brandalyn Gill – 832.892.0064, mlkdaysummit@gmail.com, www.mlkdaysummit.com “A New Decade of Realization :: Bipolar is the New Genius, The Traumatized The Most Talented :: Abdel-Maajid Baha Becomes the First Financial Sponsor of one of the Most Legendary and Historical Events” The People’s Family Workshop for the Arts/The Peoples’ Workshop Presents Illumination Literary, Houston Area Urban League, National Association of Mental Illness – Greater Houston, Imagiread, NAACP – Houston, Third Ward Initiatives and the 2020 MLK Jr Day Mental Health and Literacy Summit 2020 brings with it a more diversified world, inviting thought and strategies of the most complex issues – thoughts and strategies which may have never been considered.
