#KidLit4BlackLivesCanada: A Rally to Support Black Lives in solidarity with #KidLit4BlackLives and #Juneteenth was a success with over 2000+ viewers (in spite of having gone over 45 minutes and Zoom having made the mistake of capping at 100 viewers even though it was extended ahead of time.) One thing is certain: we love and care for our children and youth.  Many courageous conversations were had and will continue after this event.  To my presenters: Thank you for getting to the tough stuff, being so real, and vulnerable.  Thank you for your creativity— poetry, storytelling, music, art.  I suppose that it was ambitious to get this all in within time constraints (the event went over by 45 minutes). The kids’ section was fun, brave, and creative.  The teen section was the kinds of things I wish I heard as a teen, gritty, and genuine.  The adult section really encouraged them to be informed and to act.  On our panel consisted of 100+ books published, 22 presenters, 17 authors of which 9 were self-published, 6 Black female and 5 Black male authors, 5 allies, 3 time zones, 3 Canadian provinces, 2 countries, Goals reached: Educate, empower, heal, call to action. What else was accomplished? So much more.  I wish to thank all of our participants.  To watch the full length event, visit A Different Booklist Cultural Centre’s Facebook Page.  An edited version with resources list will be available on youtube soon. 

​Meet the presenters here!
Special thanks!
