Thanks to Scholastic for hosting this year’s DEIB Publishing Summit. I had the opportunity to attend with IBPA Board Chair, Tieshena Davis and Board Director, Renita Bryant for a day of thought leadership on allyship and coalition building. I am honored to be part of an organization that is on the forefront of change in our industry, and proud that Independent Book Publishers Association received a shoutout for our work from keynote speaker Regina Brooks.
