"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. As of 2020, the campaign has shared over 8,000 books across the UK. An advocate for representation in literature, Sofia hopes to make diverse stories commonplace rather than niche.
