The Reading Agency and Universal Music Group's (UMG's) UK Task Force for Meaningful Change, a team focused on the unique challenges facing the UK's Black community, delivered a campaign called 'Mark My Words', a national libraries campaign celebrating Black authors.

Libraries were gifted a booklist of 8 titles (4 adults and 4 children's) featuring authors including Akala, David Olusoga and Bolu Babalola. 5,608 copies were disseminated to 701 library branches across 31 authorities nationwide, including Bradford, East Lothian, Leicester, Newcastle, Rochdale and Jersey.
