Thank you so much to everyone who donated to Melanin in YA on GoFundMe. Donations have been turned off since we have reached our start up funds goal, purchased books with surpassed donations, and shipping costs are covered for these future book giveaways. The GoFundMe was a huge success. Thank you!
Melanin in YA still greatly appreciates your support. We have big plans for Melanin in YA and want you to continue to play a part in helping Melanin in YA achieve these goals.
