Why I Prioritize Diverse Voices in My Reading
I love reading books by authors from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. I try to keep an open mind and seek out stories that reflect a wide range of life experiences. For me, this means being intentional about not limiting my reading to authors of a single ethnicity or worldview.

Audiobooks Count as Reading!

I absolutely love listening to audiobooks. I listen while I'm driving, making dinner, doing housework, and even when I go for a hike. Audiobooks have brought me hours of entertainment and allowed my busy mind to take a break with something enjoyable.
