It’s hard to participate in a society that does not see you. Books have the power to bring people together, and celebrating diverse voices in my LFL helps ensure that everyone has a seat at the table. Fighting “erasism” through the books I offer helps ensure that everyone feels seen!
My LFL should reflect our diverse community.
All people are equal and should be equally represented.
Reading is one of the best ways to learn and to see beyond yourself. This is an important part of love.

Our children need books, and they need to see themselves in books!
We need books to represent all people and color! Diversity and inclusion is a must!
