i’ve been working hard on a teen novel for a while now.  this is a new type of writing for me and i LOVE it.  but it take a looong time.  

cue…marley dias

the girl visionary who started the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign.  she wanted to find books that reflected her and her life.  she thought she might not be the only black girl would want those books and spread the word on twitter…

there are now more the 700 books in the database.  you can find the books by  clicking here for database of #1000BlackGirlBooks

marley is my inspiration.  one day soon i hope for my book to be in her list!!!

what can you inspire others to do?
