Representation and Kidlit: A Conversation with the Belles and Brujas


The Belles and Brujas Tour to celebrate Bruja Born was one of the best conversations I had the privilege of joining. Zoraida Cordova was joined by Dhonielle Clayton, Samira Ahmed, and E.K. Johnston and it felt like I was listening to a conversation between friends. Each author wrote from a place that acknowledged the lack of marginalized voices in the book industry. Keep reading to hear some of my favorite tidbits from these impressive authors. 


I could have honestly listened to those ladies for hours, they should really think about starting a podcast about representation and the current movement in kidlit to ensure more voices are included. Haven't read The Belles or Labyrinth Lost? Remedy that because they are fabulous books that will make you think.
