This is such a beautiful and honoring list. Thank you so much for doing it. It is important for our children to see themselves fully and joyfully on pages. I work in children's publishing and it is real work daily to push for what is right. Happy to be in rooms where I can influence change.

Yes it is. I’m glad you’re able to make space for change also. Keep putting in the work
