Author Event with Malaak Compton-Rock

Malaak Compton-Rock discusses her new book: "If It Takes a Village, Build One: How I Found Meaning Through a Life of Service and 100+ Ways You Can Too." "Service is the rent we pay for living" says preeminent children's advocate Marian Wright Edelman and this is the motto by which Malaak Compton Rock, dedicated humanitarian and wife of comedian Chris Rock, lives her life. Part memoir, part practical guide, "If It Takes a Village, Build One" offers readers insightful advice on everything from how to find just the right volunteer opportunity, how to get kids involved in a life of service, how to research charities, and even how to start a nonprofit, as Malaak did several years ago. All of this practical wisdom is grounded in inspirational anecdotes about her own experience with service.
