Myers host yearly community back to school events, Social Emotional Learning and Christmas Coat and Bike Drive to help children and families in low-income communities. Myers speaks to thousands of elementary students through interactive school assemblies and educational presentations that are infused with transparency, real conversations and easy-to-implement principles to reveal the harsh realities of bullying. Myers works with elementary schools to help prepare their students to exhibit positive habits and practices that will transfer to their middle school years, where bullying is most prevalent. For Myers, school was no easy feat as she grew up stuttering and was constantly ridiculed by her peers. She continuously felt neglected, isolated, and often had others speak for her. Myers had to embrace core habits of inner-strength, confidence and endurance to overcome bullying and the obstacle of stuttering. Myers now shares those same core habits that allowed her to persevere and her remarkable story of triumph with students, educators and administrators. With her organization, Every 1 Voice Matters, she helps kids overcome speech impediments, bullying, low self-esteem and low self-confidence to build successful soft and social skills.
Myers has developed innovative measures including (1) an online animated series where kids can learn about Diversity Equity and Inclusion, Social Emotional Learning, Financial Literacy, Antibullying, new words and more.
