“The importance that we assign to different people is just an invention. It's not real. We are all necessary and important.” - Addy Rivera Sonda When choosing an illustrator for the Get Movin’ Activity Deck for kids, Addy Rivera Sonda’s work stuck out in the best way. Her illustrations and themes made it apparent that she valued diverse representation and addressing systemic inequities that impact every living thing on this planet. Addy is a Mexican illustrator, who loves color, learning, and exploring ways in which we could build kinder and more interdependent communities. Her biggest inspiration for drawing is that she knows that stories and art have an impact on the way people understand themselves and perceive others, building empathy, and affecting change toward a more just world. In this episode, Addy shares her beginnings in illustration, what this work means to her, and what she learned while creating the work for the Get Movin’ Deck.
