It is important in all communities to provide diverse books
To continue my mission to promote literacy and get diverse books in the hands of all children. As a member of the African American children’s book author community, our message is universal; Representation matters!
Native & African Americans, Hispanics & Anglos reside in Santa Fe, as do immigrants & visitors from around the world. All religions are practiced here & the importance of understanding each others’ cultures is a worthy goal.
Supporter for equality, diversity and inclusion for all.
I love buying and reading children’s books, especially books that teach about diversity and celebrating all cultures. My family includes European American, Caribbean, Hispanic and Asian cultures. They are all beautiful!
