[Kelly Yang @kellyyanghk]

“How do you fight discrimination?” This was one of the most powerful questions I was asked this week by a 5th grader from Milburn, NJ. Here’s my answer. I am so grateful for all the conversations that are happening around the world, thanks to #GRAFront and @pernilleripp. ❤️📚🙏

@Bridge2Lit @yalsa @uncsils I recently completed a community map for teens as an assignment for my Literature for Young Adults class.
