Jamia Wilson

Book rec: Make Good Trouble by @jamiaawilson.bsky.social. Great for inspiring young adult readers (and olds like me) in these awful times. The varied fonts, speech bubbles, and drawings keep things fresh and AHDH friendly. I was lucky to meet Jamia at @opensecretsmag.bsky.social ‘s 2025 conference
