Stats show that only 5% of children books in the UK have Black, Asian or minority ethnic protagonists. This chat explores the barriers for black writers, the importance of authentic representation and how we can support the industry.
Nina (@missninamalone) is joined by Grace Toby (@tompuk_) who leads The Open Minds Project - a charity that aims to advance the education of the public in the lives of black people through books. And Carolyn (@afroribooks), the founder of Afrori Books - the biggest selection of books by Black Authors in the UK.
