📚 Today officially kicks off Banned Books Week.

I’m starting off the week with NYT Bestselling Author @fredtjoseph - Check out the important messages Frederick has to share on the topic of #bannedbooks and why we need to work together to open minds and demonstrate acceptance, advocate for inclusion, and educate our communities! 

Censorship hides history, silences diverse voices, and limits our empathy. But I’m fighting back. All week long, I’ll be sharing exclusive videos with incredible authors talking about the power of stories and sharing why we need to educate and combat book banning together.

Watch my  full interview with Frederick Joseph!👉🏼 https://youtu.be/WbF35r6JplQ?is=GRdM_2dp3WMMjEX2

Books open minds! Let’s protect the freedom to read. Stay tuned.
