I Affirm Me: The ABCs of Inspiration for Black Kids

May 4, 2021

While this is the first children’s book I ever wrote, it is the second I had illustrated and published. My goal in designing the book was to create an alphabet book of affirmations for children to inspire them and remind them of their inner power, glow, and strength. I wanted to create something that reassures them of what we already know to be true. My inspiration came to me from running across the Back to School Vintage Alphabet, cue my ABC book.
