@steemstem, am very much glad to have found this post about your reading and educational life.
it's an undeniable fact that readers are leaders, am very much vaccinated with this word of your which says:
I write and read to teach and inspire.
that, is one of the essence of reading because if you don't read to gain more knowledge, you can't teach others because out of the abundant of the heart is when the mouth speaks.
But it's a pity that many people are not reading anymore this days, that is why I created a reading club on discord called #ireadbookclub, you can get the link here
