"Voices Unmuted"
ABOUT
It's about giving voices to those whom others have tried to silence, whether with their voice or their written word. Banning and censorship has been around since pretty much the dawn of time. I had a mission before where I would read a book and write a review because it was banned or tried to be censored. This segment can have ANY type of guest or guests, who wish to talk to let their voice be heard. However, I do not promote HATE, BIGOTRY, OR ANY TYPE OF VIOLENCE. I also ask for all shows that vulgur language is not acceptable (unless reading from an excerpt in the book). You don't have to be a literary professional, you can be an advocate that wants to talk about your passion and causes.
I NEVER censor anyone who appears on my show. When my episodes are edited, they are for quality, and dead air, not content, as long as the rules are followed.
American Library Association
I keep track of the books on the American Library Association, to see their yearly list of censored books.
First Amendment of the Constitution
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. "
Advocacy
I am an advocate for literacy, and anti-censorship (however, the exceptions in the First Amendment of the Constitution make sense, where you should not yell fire in a crowded place, or use words to incite violence or insurrections, or worse). I do not want others telling me what I can and cannot say, what I can and cannot read, and what I can and cannot write.
IMPOSTER REPRESENTING AMY'S BOOKSHELF REVIEWS
There is someone posing as Amy's Bookshelf Reviews, and Literary Consultant. Watch the video at the top of the home page. My emails will have a watermark either in the body and/or in the signature of my emails that I send. My logos and graphics also have a mark I created.
