Hi there! 👋 I’m Nick, the creator of Social Justice Booklist! It all started with a mission to make it easier for people to discover books about social justice leaders—like the one my Aunt Rosita wrote about my incredible great aunt, Pauli Murray. 🌟 Link to her book: https://www.socialjusticereads.com/books/pauli-murray-the-life-of-a-pioneering-feminist-and-civil-rights-activist Over time, my passion grew, and so did the vision for this community. I wanted to learn more stories and connect with others who share this interest. That’s why I added a way to discover articles about social justice leaders written every day. If you ever have questions or need help, I’ve got your back! Just click on your profile picture, select "Support," and send me an email—I’d love to hear from you. Let’s keep discovering and learning together! 📚
