To renew our commitment to uplifting the voices of the underrepresented–past and present.
Books that reflect diverse identities, cultures, and life experiences help people see themselves in stories and understand others. This is becoming increasingly critical in our current world of judging people for what they look like.
My pledge is my commitment to fostering a more inclusive world through the power of books.
I am a children’s book author and believe in healing through writing and illustrating.
