Sharing diverse perspectives is critical to creating change within our communities. Books are a great way to do this
I believe it is important to learn about people with different backgrounds than our own
We need more advocates who Read in Color and build our communities!
I want to help bring awareness to BIPOC authors including myself!!!
Everyone deserves a voice. Everyone deserves to be represented. Keep trying until every child can see themselves/their experiences and their culture in the books they read.
We all need windows and mirrors in our reading!
