Beyond Basics is excited to share with you that, as announced in The Detroit News, our Co-Founder & CEO Pamela Good is being named a 2019 Michiganian of the Year! Please join us in congratulating her for all of her hard work for the community. A special thanks to all of you that have supported Beyond Basics in our journey as we try to change the world through literacy.

Before Pamela Good walked into a Detroit school two decades ago, she had already started her own computer business with a CPA, taught ballet to struggling teens and volunteered across Metro Detroit.

“I would say I was a jack of all trades and master of none,” Good said of her place in the world around 1999 before everything changed.
