Text Messages from the Heart of a Ghetto Mom captures Sophia’s bold voice, clever sense of

Theo Fowles graduated from University of Southern California with a Bachelors in Cinematic Arts and taught high school English and English as a Second Language in the Bronx, NY as a
Teach For America corps member from 2005-2008. The experience in the classroom motivated
Theo to create Just D.U.M.B. Productions, Inc., a company led to develop a blog, videos, workshops and books under the motto “Just Don’t Underestimate My Brain.”
To Be Young, Gifted, & D.U.M.B. is the first book in the Just D.U.M.B. Movement and is produced
in partnership with Message Media Ed, a media literacy center located in South Los Angeles.
It is an interactive autobiography that highlights love, hurdles and life lessons,
and engages the reader to reflect on these journeys as well.
Continue the D.U.M.B movement here!
