First Runner-Up is a children's book following the life of young Ryder as she embarks on her first dance class as one of the only Black students. She faces ridicule and mocking for her uniqueness and skill level, yet her parents encourage her to stay rooted in her confidence. She goes on to practice constantly, becoming first runner-up in the dance competition. Representation and perseverance are two of the main pillars of First Runner-Up. Representation encompasses the need for diverse voices, experiences, and identities to be seen, heard, and acknowledged in every aspect of society. Perseverance is the unwavering commitment to overcoming obstacles and achieving goals, even in the face of adversity. It is the grit, determination, and resilience that propel individuals forward when confronted with challenges and setbacks. In this book, the two intersect to create a powerful force for positive change and progress that form the foundation for a more inclusive and equal society. My goal when creating "First Runner-Up" was to empower, amplify diverse voices, and celebrate the power of resilience in a world that isn't equal. By doing so, we can create a world where every person feels seen, valued, and empowered to achieve their fullest potential. In the dance studio is where I first saw the need for these pillars and I aspire for every child to have an uplifting experience when learning the beautiful art of dance and beyond.
