“It is essential that all people have the opportunity to see themselves represented with dignity and humanity in the books that we share. This promotes the growth of wellbeing, understanding, and acceptance in our world.”

All people need to have their voices heard.
I believe that books should be available to everyone, and all readers should see themselves in the characters and writers of books.
Reading, like kindness and like love, should not discriminate. Books are to be shared by ALL walks of of life to bring one another together ❤️
As a queer disabled woman, representation is hugely important to me, and I am committed to helping others see themselves in books the way I want to see myself.
I believe everyone should feel represented when reading. Underrepresentation leads to individuals not knowing their history or what they are capable of. No one deserves to feel excluded.
I created our little free library to celebrate the great diversity within our community.
