A celebration of books and authors that promote diversity and inclusion
What started as a personal project to decolonize my bookshelf turned into a passion for reading diverse books, and doing what I can to help bring attention to these wonderful works of art. Join me on a journey that we can all take to read works by diverse authors and/or with diverse characters. There is so much to learn by just reading diverse fiction — it is a small piece of progress, but a worthy one.
“But nothing is said of the closeness between two people: how they grew in the shade of each other’s presence. No one speaks of that exchange of gift and character — the way a person took on and recognized in himself the smile of a lover. Individuals are seen only in the context of these swirling social tides.”
