About Our Guest Speaker, Deidra Mayberry

Deidra Mayberry is a native of Texas, originally from San Antonio and ultimately migrated to Dallas. Her struggle with reading was recognized early on, beginning her internal self-doubt and lack of worthiness. She continued to struggle with reading into her late 20's, limiting her work progression, earnings, relationships, self-esteem, and opportunities.

Deidra had a dream that one day she would create a nonprofit that would provide an environment where adult learners can reestablish their literacy journey with dignity and discretion, at no cost to them. And that's just what she did.

Today she leads Dallas-based Reading to New Heights, which provides literacy training to adults with a flexible platform that allows them to learn around their schedule and begin providing a better tomorrow for themselves, their family, and the community.

Please join us and hear more from Deidra Mayberry about her challenges and triumphs in the pursuit of changing lives for the better through literacy!
