dr. TekemiA Dorsey, a member of Zeta Phi Beta Soror-ity, Inc is ALIVE MAGAZINE’s 2011 “Woman of the Year” and a Final-ist for Doreen Rainey’s 2011 “Radi-cal Woman of the Year” Award as well. In January 2011, Dr. Dorsey received a Woman of POWER Award. Dr. Tekemia Dorsey is the brainchild and visionary of the 2011 Youth Empowerment RETREAT in Baltimore, MD. Dr. Dorsey and her organization received two proc-lamations; one from the Mayor and the other from the Governor, proclaiming 2011 “The Year of the YOUTH in Baltimore and the State of Maryland!” dr. TekemiA Dorsey received her Doctoral of Management degree in Organizational Leadership from the University of Phoenix in 2006 and a Master’s of Education with a concentration in Guidance and Counseling from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) in 1997. In 1995, Dr. Dorsey received a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in psy-chology from UMES as well.

dr. TekemiA Dorsey is a single mother of five children (2, 4, 6, 10, & 13) whom are all home-schooled. Dr. Dorsey is an author, radio show host, publisher, professor, entre-preneur, champion of youth, and leadership guru.

dr. dorSeY has achieved great-ness but none of which can be measured to being a “Child of GOD” and proud to say it. Dr. Dorsey feels empowered by empowering others before self. in 1999, Dr. Dorsey started the Adopt-A-Family Christmas Project designed to teach her son, Bran-don the concept “it is better to give than it is to receive.” The project has evolved from a family project to a community project. In 2010, Dr. Dorsey and family adopted 13 families from the greater Baltimore and Southern, Maryland areas. On Christmas day each year, presents for the families’ nominated are deliv-ered. What a blessing this remains. in 2007, Dr. Dorsey developed two leadership models for The Leadership Institute for Elemen-tary School-Aged Youth (LIESAY). Additionally, Dr. Dorsey developed, wrote the curriculum, and begin voluntarily teaching The LIESAY to youth in a Baltimore Christian School in Baltimore County, Md. The LIESAY was designed to teach to leadership training and educa -tion to elementary school aged

youth and after piloting the pro-gram for a year, the program was expanded to another Christian school in Baltimore County and included the middle school popu-lation. Today, this program is taught in the private school but has been adopted by the public school for integration. Dr. Dorsey has evolved her leadership models for leader-ship training and education for high school students, entrepreneurs, and businesses (small, medium, and large). in 2010, Dr. Dorsey started The National Literacy Mentorship Pro-gram and its “300 Youth N 100 Dayz Summer Reading Book Campaign!” This program was designed to close the academic achievement gap that occurs during the summer months while strengthening families and reducing illiteracy among our youth. The goal was to distribute 100 FREE age appropriate books to youth in 100 dayz. Well, in 53 dayz, Dr. Dorsey was able to give out 330 books to inner youth and family. This program was emulated in two other locations; one in Baltimore and the other in PA. There was two parts to the program. Each youth that completed both received an award.

in 2010, Dr. Dorsey received The Scribb Award for Literary Excel-lence and her consulting business received the 2010 Best of Baltimore Consulting Award. Dr. Dorsey con-

sulting Award. Dr. Dorsey consulting business received the same award for 2009 as well. In 2010, Dr. Dorsey formed The Creative GRP., LLC which is an umbrella organization for each of her business establishments. dr. dorSeY’S divine assigments are youth, education and leader-ship. Through each of her initiatives, Dr. Dorsey focus her programs on these three areas as best possible. Today’s youth are tomorrow’s lead-ers but in order to help the youth, we must reach the parents. The community hold the key to success and the resources for growth. When all three components to life, incor-porated through spiritual guidance is achieved, everything is possible. in 2007, Dr. Tekemia Dorsey coined the phrase, “True Leadership Lies In The POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT!” in 2011, Dr. Tekemia Dorsey only fear two things, death and GOD nei-ther which she has met yet. With keeping this in mind, Dr. Dorsey continues to strive to do GOD’s will in HIS kingdom as best she can in a humble and transparent manner. What you see, is what you get from Dr. Dorsey.

The purpose of this program is to place 100 books in the hands of youth in 100 dayz. The summer break is the time where most of our youth lose the knowledge obtained over the previ-ous academic year and this program is designed to help keep that knowl-edge fresh and active. At the end of the summer reading book campaign, youth that took part will be eligible to receive a scholar-ship. The youth will have to write an essay on the book they chose from the reading list and submit it. This program is being run across the United States and Internationally. This program is available to you in your hometown.

The location for this program is throughout the United States and Internationally.

« The Creative GRP, LLC Community Outreach Program reVieW: 2010 The National Literacy

Mentorship Program 1st Annual “300 Youth N 100 Dayz Summer Reading Book Cam-paign!”

In 2010, Dr. Dorsey started The National

Literacy Mentorship Program and its 1st Annual “300 Youth N 100 Dayz Summer Reading Book Campaign [SRBC]!” The pro-gram was operable from June 17, - Septem-ber 30, 2011. The challenge was to see if we could reach 300 youth in 100 dayz during the summer. This program was designed to close the academic achievement gap that

occurs during the summer months while strengthening families and reducing illit-eracy among our youth. The goal was to distribute 300 FREE age-appropriate books to youth in 100 dayz.

The SRBC was a two-phase program

designed to combat illiteracy for youth and to bridge the academic achievement gap phenomena. In 53 days (Phase 1/Reading component), she gave away 330 FREE age-appropriate books to 330 youth/families in inner city Baltimore! Youth that completed Phase 2 (writing component) of the pro-

gram received a FREE gift as well. This pro-gram was emulated in two other locations; one in Baltimore and the other in PA.

Dr. Dorsey is gearing up for the 2011 2nd

Annual “300-Youth N 100 Dayz Summer Reading Book Campaign” that kicks off May 1, 2011 through August 30, 2011. The SRBC will end with another HUGE community event encompassing youth, parents, the community and its leaders in August.

2011 Year of the YouTh

(Baltimore, MD)-The City of Balti-more has joined with The Creative GRP, LLC to officially proclaim 2011 as “The Year of the Youth in Balti-more” and encourages all citizens to participate and join in the celebra-tion. To celebrate, organizers are planning an innovative 2011 Youth Empowerment RETREAT-a year-

long slate of activities designed to empower, motivate, encourage, enlighten and energize our youth and parents through knowledge, education and opportunity.

Through a four-phrase program

occurring in the spring, summer, fall and winter of 2011, 1000-1500 at-risk youth ages 8-18 and parents in the Baltimore area will participate in a series of activities, workshops, community service initiatives, mentoring programs and training opportunities designed to provide both youth and parents with the knowledge they need, the oppor-tunity they’ve been seeking and the

opportunity to do more for them-selves and their community.

The brainchild of Dr. Tekemia

Dorsey, founder of The Creative GRP, LLC and a tireless advocate for youth and education who has spent her time and efforts educating, empowering and advocating for youth and their parents---the “2011 Youth Empowerment RETREAT” is the next logical step in addressing the chronic problems that youth and their parents have been facing. “There are many examples of tradi-tional workshops, trainings and pro-grams that youth are encouraged to participate in that are designed

to address issues facing our youth-delinquency, low academics, inner city problems, etc.,” said Dorsey, “but there aren’t any avenues that address issues of truly empower-ing our youth to take on leadership positions and then provide them with actual opportunities to apply their new-found knowledge.”

Based on Dr. Dorsey’s models of

Leadership Training and Education and curriculum developed for The Leadership Institute for Elementary and Middle School Youth, the 2011 Youth Empowerment RETREAT is comprised of FOUR phases: 1) a winter literacy-mentorship read-

Description of Book The academic achievement concerns in the United States have negatively

influenced students in the classroom, according to the most recent educational reform efforts. The educational reform efforts reviewed have excluded all students in general. More effort, time, and funding has been placed on the re-structuring of school organizations and holding school officials accountable from the top-down and it is evident that this approach is not working. The past and current educational reform efforts, the identification of root causes-based on literature, and the discussions on differences in academic achievement are the key variables presented in this book. The variables demonstrate an overview of the systems approach the educational field use towards bridging the academic achievement differences for students. In the areas reviewed (systems theory, past and current educational reform efforts, the root causes of failure, and achievement differences), data has been unable to pinpoint the main cause(s) of failure to provide equal academic achievement for all children in general. “The American elementary and secondary education systems . . . are in crisis” (Henry, 2004, p. 55). However, common themes have emerged that demonstrate how differences can be made in the 21st century to combat the current educational concerns, such as the interrelationships between teachers and students, teacher to teacher, and parents to teachers, just to name a few. Additionally, the introduction and explanation of two leadership training and education models are presented. Dr. Dorsey developed two leadership training and education models for both Private and Christian Schools and The Public School System to train our youth for tomorrow’s expectations and demands in life.
