Everyone deserves to see themselves in books! And the rest of us need to increase our empathy and understanding of others.
Reading is one of the ways we can learn about each other.
It’s hard to participate in a society that does not see you. Books have the power to bring people together, and celebrating diverse voices in my LFL helps ensure that everyone has a seat at the table. Fighting “erasism” through the books I offer helps ensure that everyone feels seen!
My LFL should reflect our diverse community.
All people are equal and should be equally represented.
Reading is one of the best ways to learn and to see beyond yourself. This is an important part of love.
