ABOUT
Dynamic Shadrack Boakye
Born in war-torn Liberia, Shadrack immigrated to the United States, where he faced immense academic struggles—repeating two grades and reading at a second-grade level in eighth grade. However, a single teacher, Mrs. Murphy, changed his life, igniting his passion for writing. This spark led him to win a national writing contest, receive a letter from Muhammad Ali, and earn a life-changing scholarship. Today, Shadrack is an actor featured on Netflix, Apple TV, and ABC. He has collaborated with industry legends like Spike Lee and Tom Holland. His company has spent over 15 years inspiring audiences nationwide, earning recognition, including a NY Emmy in 2017. For over a decade, he has traveled the country with Scholastic and Harcourt, sharing his story with students and educators. In 2014, Scholastic published Unstoppable, a biography about his journey, which is now part of schools’ READ 180 and System 44 literacy programs.
