Antiracist Family Day

Read the article about this event in American Libraries!

I organized a Family Antiracist Storytime event with Brooklyn Public Library at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum as part of Brooklyn Bookfest 2021 (so many Brooklyns!). We had two storytimes that focused on identity and activism, a browsing cart with Own Voices and diverse titles, gave away 100+ books, and created skin-color self-portraits and protest signs. Laleña Garcia, educator, trainer and author of What We Believe: A Black Lives Matter Principles Activity Book stopped by to sign giveaway copies of her book! This is part of the Antiracist Storytime initiative that we started at BPL in June 2020, and hopefully the first of many similar events!
