"Challenge yourself to watch or read or play something that you would normally turn your nose up at...you'll be surprised at what you might enjoy." - Sofia Akel
About Sofia Akel: Sofia Akel is the founder of the Free Books Campaign, a community interest company dedicated to distributing books by authors of colour to those who can't afford or access them.
