It all started with a Facebook Live video! Just a regular day in St. Louis...

Sidney Keys III, 13 year old rising entrepreneur, decided to take his love for reading to the next level and create Books n Bros Reading Club at the young age of 10! Having multiple meet ups with different boys, ages 7-13 years old, he is paving the way for change.
