Sade Fadipe
About The Author
Sade Fadipe, a culturally diverse children’s author, possesses several strong points that contribute to her unique voice in children’s literature:
Cultural Identity Exploration: Sade’s work is shaped by her dual heritage, and she delves into cultural identity, integration, and migration stories. Her writing reflects the rich tapestry of her background.
Her Authentic Style: As a strong new voice in children’s literature, Sade brings an authentic and unique style to her storytelling. Her narratives resonate with readers, capturing the essence of cultural experiences and personal journeys.
An Advocacy for Representation: Sade is a passionate advocate for diversity and representation in children’s books. She recognizes the need for more diverse characters and stories within schools and libraries. Despite the multicultural backgrounds of many English primary school pupils, the majority of children’s main characters in books were historically white. Sade aims to address this imbalance by championing black writers and creating representational literature.
