A Note from Our Founder
and CEO

I grew up in a world where I rarely saw Black people or Black brilliance in books, movies, or lessons.

My school supplies often had non-Black characters displayed on them, and the heroes we talked about at school were rarely the same race as me.

When I became a teacher in 2004, I was shocked to see that not much had changed from my childhood. I looked everywhere for books and stories about Black characters for my students to read and learn about Black brilliance in meaningful ways. Then, I was reminded of my own reflections as a child and young adult. There were very few stories about Black brilliance being told in my school.

Fast forward to 2017, still only 11% of all children’s books featured a significant Black character which amounts to only 330 books—only 100 of which were written and illustrated by Black people.

I founded B is for Black Brilliance because it’s time to educate our children differently. B is for Black brilliance equips caregivers, educators, and kids with vibrant books, resources, and tools that affirm and celebrate Black history AND Black futures.
