I am a person of color. I want all children to read books with people of color.
I believe in education for all.
Working hard to be an ally.
My LFL is for kids only, and I have consciously curate a library of diverse books that provide “windows and mirrors” for young readers (other book donations are less diverse, but every once in a while someone places a book in Japanese or Korean in our library).
I feel strongly about creating diversity. I have 2 charter #’s on my one LFL- one in English, one in Spanish!
To promote the liver of reading to as many children and adults as our little neighborhood can reach! To share and build a community dedicated to helping one another…
As former school board member for Alhambra Unified and current Councilwoman, diversity is our strength and we should celebrate every chance we get.
