Spelling "D" (Literacy Program)

My name is Corey Pope aka (Kibwe) Key-Way. Due to so many accomplishments i gained after being incarcerated for 8yrs. I cant' reveal them all in such a short introduction but just to name a few. I earned the Spirit of Detroit award, BMe award, Awesome News Taskforce, and Community Change Maker. I am a leader in Detroit that understands my gifts, purpose and talents. Through my vision and passion for humanity i been  teaching children for 10yrs. My charity is called Keywaytokids.com, I created this charity because i notice the problem of why so many urban children are dying and going to prison at an alarming rate. Due to so many truths being hidden and so many lies being told i wanted to do something about it. I regconize  students in Detroit are living in a cloud of confusion which is the road to ignorance. The learning institutions and so called community leaders are failing to properly teaching children knowledge of self.  This alone would prevent them from being suck into the prison pipeline.
With the books i read in prison it allowed me the ability not to go back but it also taught me the value of education. 
The literacy behind youth spelling Detroit will be the catalyst to helping children understand a remarkable city which is the first step to self sufficency and self perservance. This literacy engagement was created to plant a seed in the minds of children to awaken awarness of who they are, where they come from, and where we going as a community. Also this helps bridge the gap with understanding culture, leadership, and history. Detroit City, has unique characteristics rich history and a remarkable future for those who are properly taught to seize the moment.
Literacy is the ability of a person to read, write, and comprehend language. Those who are illiterate do not pose these abilities and thus find it more difficult to function in society where undrestanding language is critical to social, ecomomic success, and emotional wellness. 
My ask is for my community to help me push scholars over athleticism so we can create a balance society again. The Spelling D will become a consistant program that will engage with the students year round with quarterly competitions. Our first Spelling D is at Wayne State University June 17th from 6-8pm. All proceeds goes towards prizes and fieldtrip to cedar point for winners.
