*Description:*
In this episode we welcome *We Need Diverse Books*
<https://diversebooks.org/> (*WNDB)* board members and authors Caroline
Richmond <https://www.carolinetrichmond.com/> (Executive Director) and
Dhonielle
Clayton <https://www.dhonielleclayton.com/> (COO) to discuss why it is more
important now than ever to ensure diverse books are available and
accessible to youth.

Since its creation in 2014, *WNDB* has championed diverse books and
creators, and has pushed back against the lack of diverse representation in
youth literature, publishing and collections. Their advocacy efforts
include, but are not limited to: mentoring marginalized creators, donating
diverse books to schools and libraries across the nation, providing
resources to diverse publishing professionals, and supporting educators and
creators facing censorship attempts.
