Growing up, I rarely saw anyone that looked like me reflected in the media. I never really saw "mixed" people- people who were 2 different races. People that looked unique, that had unique features. Kids with parents that didn't math. Parents that didn't look like their kids. A patchwork family.
Power is the reason I decided to publish my work on my own- pure and simple. The power to make decisions that were right for me as the author and as the business owner.
