Amplify Our Voices: Inspiring Change and Elevating Marginalized Voices Through Literature
Michele Lamons-Raiford, Who is she?
As a veteran educator, parent of a child with special needs, and advocate, her journey has been shaped by her passion for education and deep commitment to amplifying marginalized and underrepresented voices. Inspired by her personal experiences as a mother of a Black boy with autism, she embarked on a mission to amplify stories and experiences that resemble her son's journey. You can learn more about Michele Lamons-Raiford's experience in chapter 5 of the Education Pandemic, "Students with Special Needs."
Amplify Our Voices
When asking Lamons-Raiford about Amplify Our Voices, here is what she had to say: "An important problem in the children's book market is that kids like my son, a Black boy with autism, are not shown enough. The movement Amplify Our Voices wants to fix this. In addition to publishing children's books, our goal is to give educators, parents, and advocates a place to share their stories, experiences, and insights."
Vision for the Future
Amplify Our Voices envisions a world where every child has the opportunity to see themselves represented in the stories they read. The organization strives to provide a platform for educators, parents, and advocates to share their experiences. Its mission is to grow a collection of diverse and inclusive children's books, focusing on representing various marginalized identities. Amplify Our Voices seeks to foster an ongoing dialogue that enables families, educators, and advocates to learn from and support one another, promoting a more inclusive and compassionate society.
