B is for Black Brilliance is in a period of growth and expansion. As we experience abundance, I am reflecting on life and all of the lessons I've been taught about Black brilliance. As I manifested this dream, I wondered what I would say to all of the people that have shaped our brand and how I could express my gratitude for all that has been shared with me. As I looked for ways to “speak” to each person about the legacy we are building, I started writing letters. Our blog is a compilation of letters to people who have influenced our brand. Each letter includes lessons for children and adults. I hope these lessons on love, healing, and brilliance serve as a tool for you and the children you care for each day.
