The need for inclusion for all people is fitting with the idea of a LFL.
Another step to a more just and equal world
With greater understanding comes personal growth and inclusive society
I anticipate starting my own free little library here in Rocky Mount, NC someday!!! This is just a start!
My library is in a culturally diverse neighborhood.
All voices should be heard and all people should be seen.
Diversity is strength, and storytelling is the heart of humanity. Reading diverse, inclusive books can only strengthen the heart of our communities and our world.
As a published author, I write books for people of color. I feel everyone should be able to identify with books that look or are like them.
