Angela Shanté QUOTES

1 " Seek diverse authors, not just diverse books.
If you want to truly decolonize your library seek more than a Black/Brown face on the cover of the book. "

― Angela Shanté , The Noisy Classroom

2 " ...there is more to Blackness than our struggle. "

― Angela Shanté , When My Cousins Come to Town

3 " Kids are resilient. They understand way (WAY) more than adults give them credit for, and they pick up on unspoken cues when things aren’t explicitly expressed to them. "

― Angela Shanté , The Noisy Classroom

4 " Kids are little people. Little people who are coming to you because you are a safe-space for them. Don’t ruin the relationship of trust by lying to them. "

― Angela Shanté , The Noisy Classroom

5 " Change is hard for anyone at any age. Children in particular are still learning their
worlds and developing their identities in it. These challenging conversations
can lead to a positive experience or be a detrimental one for the youngsters in
your charge "
