“In late 2015, Marley Dias noticed that something major was missing from the books she was reading in school. “I wasn’t seeing girls like me—black girls who are smart,” she says. In fact, most of the stories her class was reading in school didn’t feature any characters at all who were black. “The ones that did were very one-dimensional. Black girls are not being portrayed fully,” Marley explains.
So the 11-year-old New Jersey girl set out to collect 1,000 amazing stories featuring black girls. “Black girls need to see stories about girls like them,” Marley says. “Our voices and stories are so important.”
She created the hashtag #1000blackgirlbooks, and her book drive took off. Marley began receiving books from people all over the world. In just a matter of months, Marley collected more than 7,000 books of many different genres and was asked to speak on several big talk shows. “People were surprised because I’m 11. But they were also proud of me.” Click here to see some of her interviews
