As a neighborhood Library steward in a neighborhood with a wide range of nationalities and abilities, I think it’s critical that we open the minds of our children to a more diverse and accepting world!
I have seen and been around many cruelties and harsh words based on race and sexuality. I want to help change that in the world. Being part indigenous and bisexual, I know what it’s like as well. Keep reading to change the world!
Reading has always been a passion of mine and Having access to books of all types is important, it can make a big difference in perceptions, offer new perspective, and raise awareness of social issues. It is the ultimate escape! Or a light in the darkness to the under-served denographic.
Because everyone needs to see themselves in books.
Everyone deserves to see themselves in books! Books are for everyone.
