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.
Everyone deserves to see themselves represented in books.
I love the idea of having diverse books in our library.
