Our first inspiration for this company was our children.  Like them, we were not avid readers until we read that ONE book. But we weren’t exposed to Black literature until we were almost adults. We wanted to start a company that gave them better access to the literary culture that oftentimes they are unaware of in Western society.  

The above scripture is the inspiration for our name.  Reading this scripture helps you understand that how some people may perceive you is not reality.  They are not the benchmark, and you are not some outsider or anomaly meant to be discounted, disregarded, and disenfranchised. You were made in HIS image and that is what makes you important. 

Statistics show that our Black youth lack proficiency in reading pre-k all the way through grade school.  Our goal is to work with community partners to help improve those rates by exposing them to literature that they can relate to.  We hope that you help support us in reaching that goal. Check our Events section often for opportunities to help, or order our Inaugural bookmark. 

Our site and our company will always strive to evolve with our community, so you will never see that we are fully complete.
