Selling books about something as meaningful as bringing representation in books to biracial children who have little to no books depicting kids like them and family like theirs, is the greatest feeling in the world.
Boring Tuesday evening at work so working on my side hustle. My biracial children’s book series! The Ava Rose Project
I find myself only wanting to redownload twitter so I can get a findom and troll stupid men. TikTok has terrible ideas🤣
Can you record and post videos on here? Because I’m just saying Bluesky👀 because the way I am over TikTok is insane, but also..oddly refreshing 🤔
Alfred's the joker
I’m just waiting, and observing.
I swear I wish I could find an affordable illustrator 😭
I love all of you so much🩷
Yes. I will be talking about the Ava Rose Project all the time on my platform. I’m not one to back down. Ava Rose is determined to help biracial kids like her feel represented, and I’m her number one supporter.
What’s crazy is the amount of performative people talking about supporting POC authors. What is your damage Heather’s? Seriously it’s not like you’re going to get leprosy by supporting representation and inclusion🙄
Ava Rose, the coolest 6 year old ever, decided that she wanted to write books that featured biracial kids like her and her cousins, so they could be represented on bookshelves too. It’s such. Beautiful thing to teach your kids about different types of family’s. Also to be inclusive to everyone🌈
Seriously, if my six year old can explain what it means to be biracial to people, I’m not sure why it’s so difficult for adults to understand.
One thing I really enjoy about writing a biracial children’s book series, is all of the people who reach out to say how happy they are that I’m doing that, and how they wish they had that option as a kid. Representation matters!
Not gonna lie…I thought it was Todd from The Fox and the Hound😅 but it’s amazing. I wish I could illustrate even a little. It would make being a children’s book author so much easier.
I want to open an all inclusive publishing house that doesn’t discriminate on POC authors.
Tell your kids, seek out the librarians…instead of a policeman.🧐 It’d be safer, imo.
I feel this way every single day! What do they expect us to do?

OK miss me with the bullshit that writers are ONLY on social media to sell books.
We're also humans who have pets and gardens and baked goods and pancakes that improbably come out of the pan looking like goats.
Where else are we supposed to talk about those things? Just stand outside and yell??
I love to write, and right now I’m working on a biracial children’s book series for my daughter. It’s called the Ava Rose Project, and it’s meant to bring representation to biracial children so they don’t feel like they have to choose a side.🌈
When I went on X today to deactivate my account, I was instantly reminded why I was doing just that. It feels good to be free from Elon’s clutches.
