New Book Release from Tilton House Press – To Be Human – Always by Tiffany Sunday

By

Tilton House Press announces the release of To Be Human – Always by Tiffany Sunday. This is Sunday’s sixth book and third poetry collection.

Book Description

If you could change your life and live how you want to live, would you dare do it? Even though others seek to convince you to stay the same.

These soul-searching questions were the catalyst for this thought-provoking and inspiring book, To Be Human – Always by Tiffany Sunday. In her third poetry collection, Sunday ponders these questions during her search for her authentic self while defending her humanity from the invasive nature of digital technology.

Sunday’s poetry reflects a new awareness gained after peeling away layers of obsolete conditioning. For Sunday, nature offers solace, inspiration, and mental space for self-discovery. Her love of the outdoors is evident in the book’s nature-themed poems, which provide subtle wisdom from her observations. While contemplating questions about life and what you seek to achieve, Sunday’s poems and writings offer guidance for finding the courage to be you.

To Be Human – Always is available at online retailers and independent bookstores. For media inquiries and speaking appearances, please contact Ann Wilson, Ms. Sunday’s assistant at info at dillon 5 dot com.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month

By

Tiffany Sunday Dyslexia

When I wrote Dyslexia’s Competitive Edge in 2015, companies had yet to embrace inclusion for neurodiverse individuals. The same year, I gave a TEDx Talk about the Gift of Dyslexia. Somewhere between 2015 and 2017, the neurodiversity and inclusion movement gained traction. I received multiple speaking requests and secured corporate sponsorships. 

In 2017, It seems like the world has finally realized the benefits and advantages of individuals who have dyslexia and think differently. Richard Branson launched Made by Dyslexia and companies were promoting their inclusion programs.

With so much momentum I hope companies continue to promote inclusion and how adults with dyslexia can provide insight for problem solving and innovation. Companies must be willing to go outside the HR box and hire neurodiverse individuals who think differently. 

Today, dozens of groups, individuals, and companies share information and build an awareness far beyond what many I thought was possible six years ago. When I was a child in school, I could never imagine a world where dyslexia is a positive trait. Now, we are educating children and others about the competitive advantages and thinking benefits of dyslexia. 

When I wrote, Dyslexia’s Competitive Edge, I never thought the opening quote in the book would be recognized and requoted by so many organizations, universities, researchers, and fellow authors. I am humbled by the attention and am glad the quote continues to inspire individuals around the world.

In 2018, I wrote How Dyslexics Will Rule the Future. The book’s purpose is to provide companies and HR departments with checklists and onboarding ideas and strategies that were helpful for individuals with dyslexia. But, most importantly, I wanted to offer fellow professionals with dyslexia a resource book they could use for work and share with others.   

I have always believed we (neurodiverse) individuals are here for a reason. Our unique way of viewing the world, how we solve problems, use our creativity and differences to transform ideas into reality is our greatest gift to humanity.

My Quote From Dyslexia’s Competitive Edge

“We are the visionaries, inventors, and artists. We think differently, see the world differently, and solve problems differently. It is from these differences that the dyslexic brain derives its brilliance.”
