Chandra Perkins




Hey Amarillo show

Summary: A conversation with Chandra Perkins of Storybridge (storybridgeama.org), an Amarillo nonprofit that gives free, age-appropriate books to at-risk children. A longtime educator, Chandra saw that early introduction to books at home was the #1 predictor of academic success for a child. Her kids had dozens of books. Some kids had zero books. With host Jason Boyett, she explains how she set out to rebalance that inequality. This episode is sponsored by Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum and Wieck Realty.
