"We chose narrative change as a focus of our work to end state and interpersonal violence because the current punitive narrative works so powerfully against the world we believe we can build," write @CharleneAWrites and @CamRasNYC.

if u were a book person with an MSWL, what would yours be? i think for me it would be contemporary and historical romantic fantasies with meticulously mundane worldbuilding

Black Lives Matter. I'm committed to working for a better future not just politically but within publishing as well. I still have much to learn, but I can at least start with these initiatives, which have no deadline or expiration.

Do you know these women? They were leaders of the African-American club movement and they gathered on Duffield Street in #DowntownBrooklyn 1908.
Brooklyn fails to acknowledge the leadership of these women. The least we can do is not destroy 227 Duffield.

In response to the burning of Ida B. Wells' newspaper, these women in Brooklyn and NYC formed a national organization for #BlackLivesMatter in 1893.

Just had my first phone call w/ my #Authormentormatch mentee @CharleneAWrites and I'm still glowing! 🤗
Charlene is an inspiring person with a beautiful novel and powerful message to share with teens - and I cannot **wait** for the world to meet her YA book.

Today, community leaders spoke out against the proposed demolition of Abolitionist Place, 227 Duffield st. The site was critical to the Underground Railroad & abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison lived here.
This is about our history. And preserving and honoring resilience.
