We started up back in March of 2013. Our first post was sloppy and we had little direction XD(First Post). It wasnt until after we began reading books with no marginalized groups, that we really took it upon ourselves to promote diversity.
As a person of color, and female, it is very hard not to get excited about diversity. Were going on 2014 and at times, you can still feel invisible in this world if you are not white, male, cis gendered, straight, able bodied and Christian. I think we still have a very long way to go. But we can start by trying harder to read and demand more books featuring diversity.
My Little Pocketsbooks is hosting a diversity reading challenge starting in January. One can sign up here. Many other blogs try promote such things. Blogs I tend to often go back to I wanted to highlight for the end of the year:
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!Here we are again hosting some more amazing people in this pool of people interested in multicultural books. Today we'd like to introduce you to a website very similar to our own called "Rich in Color".
The site hosts many bloggers that talk about diversity in books and review books and they're all just as passionate about it as we are. We thought about how challenging it can be sometimes when promoting a site with a particular "theme', so any efforts we can make to tell others about their amazing blog as well as other amazing blogs promoting diversity, we plan to shout off to the rooftops until there's no reason to do so :) So today we have the lovely Audrey Gonzalez, representing "Rich in Color."
1.Tell us about yourself and your amazing blog, Rich in Color!
That's right! Starting monday, it will be our last week of interviews, and everyone's last chance to win! But here's the good news...Our last week will feature bloggers and gatekeepers, ones that feature and promote diversity. Even if you are not interested in winning a giveaway prize, aspiring writers who write diversely can walk away with valuable advice from editors and even an awesome publishing house!
