This Centering Black Creators conversation is a must watch; it’s one of the only honest conversations I’ve seen about understanding how white supremacy is manifest (and The Problem) in children’s literature and publishing, and the task of dismantling those systems https://twitter.com/bartography/status/1288147477808521216

“Why are we so invested in a system that was not designed to serve us?” asks Zetta Elliott

“We celebrate indie bookstores who are fighting against big corporate interests but don’t celebrate indie authors who are fighting against a corporate system that’s rigged against authors of color, indigenous, LGBTQ, and disabled authors” @zettaelliott

“We could spend hours talking about the problems with this system and then we turn around and say how can we fix it? Instead of asking what are the alternatives to this system?”
