Hey I'm Lalaa and welcome to my little corner on the internet. Over here I do literary tingz! I read diverse books, write about diverse books and talk about diverse books on the Getting Lit Podcast. I live in Toronto with my kiddos and my goal is simple, to decolonize and diversify bookshelves everywhere!
