Chickasaw Nation: Mini Book Tour

Mini Book Tour: (1/3)

Y’all, what a weekend! We had an amazing time working The Chickasaw Nation child development centers (Ada & Ardmore) and their afterschool program. Entertaining 300+ kids and 25 classes isn’t easy, but it was so worth it! We enjoyed the numerous story times, questions, tours, and smiling faces. We were able to leave some books and bookmarks behind. So grateful!

As a creator and educator, I believe in the power of representation, inclusivity, and storytelling. Through these attributes (and, adversely, the lack of them), I’ve seen curiosity sparked; confidence grow, and imagination blossom. I’m blessed to use Malashia’s Magical Twists as a positive tool in classrooms. Bell Hooks once wrote: “If we give our children sound self-love, they will be able to deal with whatever life puts before them.” - bell hooks.

Mini Book Tour Recap: (3/3)

Today, I thought I’d share some behind-the-scenes footage and bloopers! We had such an amazing time meeting so many amazing students and Lil’ Readers. I have to admit, though, the experience was that much sweeter having my mom and sister present.
