Marley Dias
If you haven’t heard of the incredible Marley Dias, allow us to tell you about this young activist. While Marley loved reading books in school, she was upset that the main characters were almost never young black girls. This inspired this young game-changer to start her own grassroots movement called #1000blackgirlbooks in an effort to collect and distribute 1,000 books with black girl protagonists. Since the start of her campaign, Marley has far exceeded her 1,000 book goal, has been praised by Oprah, celebrated on Forbes 30 Under 30 and is a published author. And she is 13 years old. Yes, we’re impressed.
