Testimonials

We were blown away about the boldness of the content given; since we only get snippets of that from story books we get from our local library. Finding those books that celebrate our Black richness, can feel like an expert scavenger hunt. It was nice to have literature and conversations that you didn’t have to spend so much time scrolling and threading through, to have access to beautiful representation of us. The virtual space and curriculum poured out so much acceptance and appreciation of Black Brilliance, that it was an anticipated EASY moment each day. For me, “easy” is essential to being a mom of 4 brilliant babes. I was able to sit back and enjoy the moment with my family. Ahh, I loved it!

My family and I are very grateful for the Black and Brilliant space. In this community we discovered new ways of sharing our brilliant thoughts & experiences as individuals and as a family. This space also allowed us to embrace exactly who we affirm ourselves to be in our home daily but out loud and proud. It felt so good in the community provided by B is for Black Brilliance.

From this experience, we plan to continue acknowledging our brilliance in all of our spaces inside and *outside of our home. We really desire more of the feeling we had shining light on the gifts and talents we have. We FULLY realized how sharing is caring for ourselves and our community! So thankful to have had this experience, we will never forget it. Thank you to your entire team for this opportunity.

The B is for Black Brilliance curriculum is incredibly unique and satisfying. The prompts were intentional and inviting. I really enjoyed connecting with my daughter over her Black Brilliance and the opportunity that this platform created for me to uplift her existence was amazing. I was also encouraged by the community that I found through other parents who participated. I definitely recommend this curriculum to further support families highlight the ways our children are brilliant.

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.
