'On every level, it’s about supporting each other.' Teen Vogue talks to KinsaleDrake about the inspiration for NDN Girls Book Club, the upcoming launch, and the organization’s impact so far. ⬇️
I’m so proud of the growth we’ve found. We’ve been able to host really fun workshops that get people reading and writing. We had a pop-up queer and Native women-run market in New Mexico last year, where we brought together people we admire who are doing really great work for their communities. It was just a group of Natives hanging out, listening to music, and reading books.
I’m also really proud of how many libraries we’ve connected with and how many free packages of books we’ve sent out, thanks to a First Peoples Fund grant. Every time I send a box, I’m so proud that we’re getting a book out for free to someone who wants to read it.
The response to our soft launch has been overwhelming, honestly. It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences for me, seeing people tag their friends on and say, “Look, this is a book club just for us,” and getting DMs asking for book recommendations and how people can get books to their library or talking circle.I see us reaching exponentially more tribal libraries and schools, helping them grow their collections of work by Native authors. Obviously, I want more Native people to get published, but that is by no means the end goal.
