about b is for black brilliance
At B is for Black Brilliance, we acknowledge and amplify Black brilliance. We design and share engaging, joyful, pro-Black books and materials that celebrate real-life examples of Blackness as genius for caregivers and kids.
All of our materials are created by Black creatives ensuring that Black brilliance is acknowledged amplified, and celebrated today and always. We hope this movement awakens a more profound knowledge of Black creators and ultimately propels us to the center of conversations about who to trust with knowledge as leaders, innovators, and curators for generations to come.
A Note from Our Founder & 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. 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.
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.
