Welcome to Litsy!

Happy Voting Day my dear American Littens! I wish you all good weather, fast moving voting lines, and hopeful results.

Here in Canada we voted in municipal elections last month (I voted online, this is an old picture, but the sentiment fits). Where I live the Mayor and 4 of 5 Town Councilors were decided by acclimation. So many people didn't get a chance to vote because only one person put their name forward for each spot. The apathy was sad.

I‘m fortunate my voting precinct is at my workplace, so not only did my daughter join me to vote after school but we also made a HEAVY donation to the food pantry 🔥☄️🧯🚒chip challenge drive! Of course we donated to all the other teams except mine! 😅😂

My daughter was enthused to see a live ballot because they covered ballots and voting in school today. 👏🏾👏🏾

I am in for some romance these days and this was my first read of my list. This book is just a fantastic, cutesy kind of story which also teaches the importance of voting and how it affects the lives of so many many people. This is such an important topic and it being incorporated into a story like this made it feel real, like the characters could be us, anyone we know, real people who are passionate and headstrong and fall in love for it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎧 2020.07.12 Very timely and a great read for teens/young adults. Topics covered to vary degrees: voting (rights and suppression); mental health; activism; interracial relationships; police brutality and social media. #Blitsy #blacklitsy #ownvoices #blackauthor #bipocauthor #bipocya
