Inspired by a true story, The Promise is a very emotional and heartwarming read reminding readers how friendship is a gift, and how ethnicities or religions aren’t important when it comes to it. The art is colorful, soft, and gorgeous.

I admit that football doesn't interest me much. However, the victory of the Spanish team in the FIFA Women's World Cup has been an exciting experience, because of the importance it has had in the vindication of the importance of women in professional sport and, in general, in the defence of women's rights in Spain. No matter how much progress has been made, all rights are always under threat.
On this event, I really liked these comments (in Spanish) from Amnesty International Spain: "Lessons we have learned (or not) from the Women's World Cup".
First thing we haven't learned: to use language in a correct and inclusive way.
Second thing we haven't learned: that only yes is yes.
Third thing we haven't learned: to give the protagonists the limelight.
The things we have learnt: equality, diversity, respect.
I have been reading a lot of books in similar genre, and so far I (queer non-Western middle class white woman) have found this one the most accessible and compassionate
I understand that people to whom the issues of identity and justice might be literal life and death issues might consider it TOO compassionate, in that it endeavours to let the ignorant preserve their self image as a basically decent person. It acknowledges difficult feelings as valid, even as it encourages people to move past them.
Instead of the three politicians' avatars to promote Web 4.0, would it not be better to use avatars representing #Equity, #Inclusion, #Accessibility and #Diversity ?
