In this episode, I introduce you good people to writer, educator and aspiring inventor, Yajaira De La Espada. We discuss the lack of diversity in children's literature. Yajaira gives advice to parents on how to work with neighborhood schools and ensure your babies are being exposed to positive images involving people of color. Also, she shares her journey toward becoming a published author with her debut book that takes young readers on an alphabetical tour of the island of Puerto Rico. Find her on social media as Yajaira Writes. The track playing during the intro and outro is "Amaze Yourself" by DJ Quad
