Bahamian media personality Arthia Nixon uses technology while in Atlanta, to reconnect with children of P.A. Gibson on her home island of Eleuthera, Bahamas for Literacy Month by showing them where her writings appear.
(Eleuthera, The Bahamas)… Despite being under a winter storm watch in Atlanta, Georgia, Bahamian media personality and publicist Arthia Nixon was able to read to the students of Eleuthera's P.A. Gibson Primary School from her children's book The Magic Grouper and Other Tales. Thanks to technology, the Eleuthera native was seen on a large screen television in front of grades two through six and got to correspond with them through chat and live video streaming before she screenshared her book so they could all read together.
Nixon resides in Atlanta where she is a consultant, publicist, Caribbean media correspondent, publisher of Rise magazine and the youngest editorial member of The Florida Star and Georgia Star African-American newspapers. Her mentor, the owner of the newspapers, Clara McLaughlin was the first Black woman to own a television station, at a time when Oprah Winfrey was being nationally syndicated.
Awesome. Children learn best by example. Good to see technology being used in a positive way.
