Take a look at your bookshelf

Who is represented?

I'm passionate about reading and writing, but I realized a few years ago that most of the books on my shelf were by white people. And when I looked in my favorite subgenres of science fiction and fantasy, it was mostly white men.

So I'm working on reading more books by people traditionally underrepresented in publishing and watching more films and television shows created by BIPOC.
