155. POWERFUL FEMALE VOICE in YA LIT: AN INTERVIEW WITH YAMILE SAIED MÈNDEZ

We are back with a new Camp BNT interview with the author of Furia, Yamile Saied Méndez.Yamile discusses the importance of representation in literature and why she created a strong female protagonist who defies expectations in her book. We found it so inspiring to hear about Yamile's journey to becoming an author and how she draws from her personal history to create compelling stories that resonate with her young readers. We hope that this interview makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Most of all, we hope you feel inspired to not only read some new books, but really think about how we can widen the experience that our students have in their curriculums, and include more voices in our conversations!Join Camp BNT: https://bravenewteaching.podia.com/campbnt Down with the Reading Quiz: https://www.curriculumrehab.com/masterclassShow Notes: https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode155 "Send us a message - please include your contact information so we can chat soon!"Head to bravenewteaching.com/waitlist to become a beta tester for BNT University!Support the show📚 BNT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT & RESOURCES 👩‍💻Join Happy Hour!Curriculum RehabDown with the Reading QuizShop the BNT Resource LibraryConnect with us on Instagram @bravenewteachingSubscribe to our YouTube Channel
