Krenice Roseman, Co-Founder of Young, Black & Lit, with Jamie Thome

On 13 August 2020, we spoke with Krenice Roseman, of Young, Black & Lit, one of our favorite literacy organizations!

Krenice Roseman is the Co-Founder of Young, Black & Lit, an Evanston based non-profit organization whose mission is to increase access to children's books featuring Black characters. Ms. Roseman's full-time job is as an attorney in State government. She graduated summa cum laude from Spelman College with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, and then received her law degree from New York University School of Law.

Ms. Roseman was born and raised in Evanston and maintains strong ties to the community through her work with local organizations like the James B. Moran Center for Youth Advocacy

We'll talk about how representation matters in books, how Young Black & Lit was started, and the importance of literacy and advocacy.
