Thank you, Aisha Tyler, for saving my stats this month. And for being hilarious. It only covers one criterion (non-white author) but that's enough, especially when that's the category I've been struggling the most to hit.

Hopefully I'll do a bit better in August but this wasn't too shabby. Now, to go work on unpacking some more...
