My goal for the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign is to create systemic change across all school systems. I want there to be diverse books that reflect the lives of every person, regardless of whether or not they are in the majority.
I suggest school buses make stops at local libraries so that children who do not have resources like books at home can get access.
I want young girls to know that their passions are important and that they should pursue them, regardless of whether or not they think that they'll be successful in terms of the mainstream.
My parents taught me the importance of telling the truth no matter what.
My parents have taught me the value of reading and self-love through books that have characters that look like me and talk like me.
My health and schoolwork come first. I work hard to get lots of sleep, but I probably work just as hard to spend time with friends.
