Every reader deserves to be represented, informed, entertained, and educated by books.
Reading is for everyone. History doesn’t change if we ignore it.
To bring awareness to BIPOC authors and books.
We all deserve to feel represented in literature. I want to provide diverse voices and stories for my community. May people never grow up like I did, without seeing themselves represented in literature.
For celebrating diversity to help others embrace diversity and fight for equity in their lives!
I live in Florida and books that celebrate the diversity of all Americans are being pulled from my school library. I want other children to have access to books that reflect who we all are.
I will work to include books whose stories represent all readers.
Combining community service with reading and the connection of us as brothers and sisters coming together warms my heart and soul!
