St. Mary’s-Berkeley standout plays a role in ‘The Right to Read’ documentary produced by actor LeVar Burton
The softball field was the only place that made sense to Margaret Malaika Weaver.
St. Mary’s High senior Margaret Malaika Weaver has become an activist since being diagnosed with dyslexia. “I wish we had more patience from people and more understanding – instead of immediately jumping to the conclusion that, ‘You’re not trying. Work harder. It’s because you’re on your phone and not studying,’” Margaret said.
“She’s a little Black girl, and the alarm bells don’t go off at the same speed, for whatever reason,” Kareem said. The process was not covered by health insurance and cost the Weavers about $8,000 in out-of-pocket expenses.
