Best-selling author Stedman Graham will be at Eastwood Mall from noon to 2 p.m. Saturday to autograph his books and to promote his program of bullying-prevention through identity development.
Graham’s goal is to support personal-identity development from preschool through high school. The event will take place in front of BAM! bookstore.
Graham’s appearance is part of the mall’s Family Fun Day. Ten motivating and inspirational activity stations will be set up ranging from an anti-bully pledge area to a reading circle to a photo experience where kids can meet mall mascot Captain McFinn.
Other activities throughout the mall will include face painting, kids’ DJ stations and more.
The day will culminate with fireworks in the parking lot at 9 p.m.
On Friday, Graham will speak at 9 a.m. in the Ohio Room of the Kilcawley Center at Youngstown State University, and at 11:30 a.m., he will speak at Ursuline High School.
Stedman Graham is chairman and CEO of S. Graham and Associates (SGA), a management and marketing consulting company that specializes in the corporate and educational markets.
He has written 11 books, including two New York Times bestsellers: “You Can Make It Happen: A Nine-Step Plan for Success” and “Teens Can Make it Happen: Nine Steps to Success.”
His latest release, “Identity: Your Passport to Success,” shows people the importance of identity and how, without it, you are defined by the outside world with no ability to define yourself.
