Malcolm Mitchell

Malcolm Mitchell, a native of Valdosta, Georgia, and an Under Armour All-American football player, developed a love of reading during his freshman year in college. He authored and published the children’s book, The Magician’s Hat, created a youth literacy initiative called Read with Malcolm, and went on to establish the nonprofit Magic Foundation organization, with a sole purpose—to transform children’s lives through literacy. His inspirational story has been featured nationally on several news outlets and has been used by many schools as encouragement for students to embrace the importance of reading. Malcolm has earned numerous awards both on and off the field, but he considers discovering a love of reading one of his greatest achievements.
