Because all people are important! Books are a freedom of speech! You can take books out of public libraries but you can’t take them out of our own!
It is so important to share diverse stories and expand our knowledge and understanding. Books open minds and hearts!
People need to read more books from all walks of life to understand that there is no “right way” there are just different ways. Reading can really open a persons eyes and mind.
Everyone deserves to see themselves in books!
Because I am a first generation Dominican born here in U.S. I know the importance of knowing your heritage and different cultures.
As a social worker, I commit to social justice awareness and equal opportunities for all. We shall lift up each other with our words and actions.
