Dear @iammarleydias,

Thank you for your relentless work advocating for representation in children’s books. At just 11 years old, Marley launched the #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign, determined to bring attention to stories where Black girls are front and center.

Thanks to her, thousands of young Black girls now have books where they see themselves as the heroes of their own stories. Your passion, Marley, is inspiring generations of readers and changemakers. We can’t thank you enough for the impact you’re making.

I absolutely LOVED meeting you today at the @oprahsbookclub event at @strandbookstore.

In case any of you were wondering if @oprah would start an @oprahsbookclub for kids…

Oprah said “immediately No!” #oprahsbookclubselection #oprahwinfrey #oprah @strandbookstore #readwithus

Today was pure MAGIC! I attended an amazing @oprahsbookclub event at @strandbookstore hosted by @meta.

Eva Chen @evachen212 interviewed @oprah to discuss @lizstroutauthor Elizabeth Strout’s ‘Tell Me Everything’ as her latest book club selection. In addition to discussing the book, Eva asked all the right important bookish questions like does Oprah struggle with a TBR list like the rest of us. 😂

Oh yeah, and you know that picture I’ve been trying to manifest with Oprah @oprah all these years? Here it is! Bonus: Oprah is holding copies of my children’s books Etta Extraordinaire Goes to the White House (out now!) and Etta Extraordinaire. The Etta doll is coming soon from @merrymakersinc.

Thank you, @meta @threads for inviting me! #oprahsbookclubselection #tellmeeverything #readwithus #oprahwinfrey #oprah #dreamsdocometrue #oprahday #ettaday
