About

Rolanda Smith-Lyles

I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s crazy world; your personality, your sense of humor, and most importantly, your heart. All of these elements brought me to found #Great Minds Love to Read. We started out as a Facebook group where I wanted to build a little community that would support each other especially in these unprecedented times.
A little about me, I am from Alabama.  I have a Master's in Music Education and teach in my local community.  I also enjoy reading and writing.  I write poetry, stories, and music.  Creative writing has always held a special place in my heart.  I am also an official reviewer for Readers' Favorite.  I look forward to reading your stories and getting to know a little more about you.  We all have special gifts and talents.  Thank you for sharing yours with me.
This website has more than just books. I hope there will be something here for everyone. I invite you to explore my site, learn about my passions, and explore what excites and interests you as well.  Post in the discussions and forums. I'm excited to get to know you!
