The North Charleston Police Department (NCPD) extends congratulations to Reggie Burgess, Mayor of North Charleston, and Sherrika Myers, founder of Every 1 Voice Matters, on their collaboration on a new children’s book about the mayor’s life and leadership.

Written by Myers, “A Leader Chosen by God” highlights Mayor Burgess’s journey and commitment to serving the community with integrity and purpose. The book was officially unveiled at City Hall as part of the city’s Black History Month celebration.

Myers shared that the book is intended to inspire students and help them understand how leadership, hard work, perseverance, and faith can shape their own legacy. She emphasized that when children see leaders who look like them serving their community with integrity and purpose, it expands their vision of what is possible for their own future.
