Finished first book of the year, now about to start #2☺️

I’m a little late lol but I finished book #1 and now I’m about to start reading my second book, “Atomic Habits” by James Clear

Have any of you ladies read the book? What would you all rate it? (Excuse my messy desk I’m at work😂)

Books about literacy tests to vote

I work for an adult literacy organization and we’re trying to engage with our students about voting. We’re doing a book club and I’m trying to find a book that talks about the use of literacy tests to keep black people from voting in the south. I’d appreciate any recommendations if you know of any books like that! I’ve seen books like One Person, No Vote but I didn’t know if there was anything similar that’s a bit more specific. Thanks!

Published my first children’s book!

“Chee’s Big Roar” Inspired by my son, who loves big cats. Chee is a cheetah who can’t do what his other cat friends can do—roar! Join him on his journey of discovering his own unique “roar.”

Intended for ages 2-5, but I have had some parents say their 6-7 year olds would like it as well! Available now on Amazon.

Seeking readers to interview about minority representation in books!

Hi everyone!

I'm doing a study on minority (race, gender, sexuality, mental health, etc.) representation in books/written works (any format), and I'd love to hear about your experience in finding books with diversity or that represent your identity. Preferably, this would be a quick conversation over Zoom (with or without camera), phone call, or Discord voice chat. Although I'm happy to accommodate if you're not comfortable with that (i.e. we could just do direct message).

If anyone's interested, I'd be so grateful! Feel free to reply or message me directly.

Thank you!

Have you ever felt frustrated by books marketed as "diverse" that still perpetuate stereotypes or lack authenticity?

What are your thoughts on this?
