What To Expect

Beyond The Pages: Virtual Edition

Get ready for an unforgettable evening of live music, powerful storytelling, and real conversation that takes you far beyond the book. Now, you can attend from the comfort of your own home.

Did you know that during his time as Mayor, Shawn Maldon was accused of some bizarre things from sitting council members? Some shocking stories didn’t make it into Lessons in Leadership, Loyalty & Loss; however, at Beyond the Pages: Virtual Edition, you’ll hear first-hand all about it. Nothing is off the table.

This is more than just another book event. It’s an exclusive, behind-the-scenes virtual experience where Shawn opens up about the untold stories, the rumors, the resilience, and the lessons that shaped his journey. The one held in person was such a huge success that hosting one virtually was a no-brainer.

🎤 Guest Performance: Jalesa McRae will join the event, bringing her powerful vocals to make the night unforgettable.

👩🏽‍⚖️ Special Guest: Councilwoman Cason will also be joining the conversation to share her first-hand account of events that never made it into the book, stories and perspectives you won’t find anywhere else.

Advance Praise From Leaders Who Know:

The Honorable Eugene W. Grant, Former Mayor of Seat Pleasant, Maryland

"As a neighboring mayor, I watched Mayor Shawn Maldon face trials that would have broken many, but instead, they fored his strength. Surrounded by heavy resistance, he chose integrity over comprosmise, grace over bitterness, and service over self-interest. This book is more than a memoir; it is a rallying cry for those who believe that leadership is about standing firm in the storm, not just aasking in the sun. Shawn's journey will inspire anyone whoo has ever dared to lead with courage and heart."'

Dr. K. Michelle Green, DDS,

Mother, Leader & Board-Certified Dentist

“As a mother and professional who has faced more than a few storms, I know that prevailing isn’t optional. It is a must. Mayor Maldon’s story is a reminder that real leadership is tested in the fire, not the spotlight. This book is honest, timely, and powerful.”

Jill D. Sege, Esq., Attorney,

ASL Interpreter & Community

“Think globally, act locally. This adage has never been truer. This country will rise or fall in our local governments. Mayor Maldon’s exposé of what happens in a bustling small town in the Washington, DC area is a mirror for what’s possible nationwide—one town at a time. A guide for what to do (and what not to do) to make the difference this country so urgently needs.”
