It seems that there is an abundance of negativity in the news lately. To lighten things up just a bit for Black History Month, I'd like to call our attention to Miss Marley Dias, the young founder of #1000BlackGirlBooks. Recently, it was announced that she will be writing a book of her own. Read the story here: http://nymag.com/thecut/2017/02/1000blackgirlbooks-marley-dias-is-writing-her-own-book.html
You can also check out Marley on the hilarious and informative podcast, Another Round. She did an episode with them last year. How many of us were this articulate and driven at 11 years old?

Be on the lookout for big things from Marley during the next few years! Let's keep doing what we can to inspire young book lovers like her.
