POSTS STORIES REELS

Five years ago, the Sonny Boy 5K started as a way to honor my father, Silas Grant Sr. Today, it has grown into something much bigger.

This year feels especially meaningful because I’m now serving as Chair of the Board for Reading Partners DC, and we’re setting an ambitious goal: raise $50,000 to support childhood literacy. Register, donate or learn more:

Had an incredible time at the first book signing. We will be hosting more events like this. The messages within the principles of "Showing Up!" are messages that need to be shared widely. If you're interested in hosting a book signing or talk about the book, please contact me at silasgrant.org by @silasgrant

"Showing Up! The Five Principles That Saved My Life" is my first book. It is now available at silasgrant.org. I promise you that it is the book that you need to read. by @silasgrant

Home by the sea recap ... late edition by @silasgrant

Strong community initiatives are built through meaningful partnerships.

As we reflect on the 5th Annual Sonny Boy 5K Walk for Literacy, I want to personally recognize and thank the five organizations that stepped forward as sponsors this year:

The Fisher Group | Families First | 2GIP Group | The DAP Project | The Schultz

Their support helped make Saturday’s event possible and contributed to our fundraising efforts on behalf of Reading Partners DC.

As the Chair of the Reading Partners DC Advisory Board, one of my priorities is to strengthen the relationships between the organization, our business community, and the individuals who believe every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident reader.

These five partners demonstrated what it means to invest in that mission.

Thank you for your generosity, your partnership, and your commitment to making a difference.

I look forward to continuing to build on these relationships and expanding the impact of our work throughout the year. by @silasgrant

You started the year with goals, plans, and good intentions. But how many of those goals are still unfinished?

With less than 9 weeks left in 2026, it's time to get intentional about how you finish.

Sometimes the problem isn't a lack of motivation. It's not understanding what's keeping you stuck.

Before you set another goal, take a moment to identify what's standing in your way.

My friend @silasgrant created The Procrastination Audit, a tool designed to help you do just that.

Whether you use his audit or another tool, the important thing is to get honest with yourself, get unstuck, and take action.

Finish 2026 strong. Start 2027 stronger. 💪🏾

More photos to come... but I wanted to share some shots from today's 5K. We raised $13K this year. In 5 years, we've raised over $60K. We desire to center literacy at the core of every conversation in America. And we want Reading Partners at the center as well! by @silasgrant
