If You Believe Our Youth Need More Positive Images That Look Like Them, Then Keep Reading...

Right now, we are living in some very interesting times. The social and political climate is extremely volatile, and our children are constantly bombarded with negative imagery. From television to social media, even the print ads are a constant reminder of who they are in this world and where they fit in. Whether we like it or not, the media and literature play such an essential role in shaping the way our children understand race, ethnicity, and social institutions. Often, the lack of positive representation and the "fake news" about those that look like them, on the airwaves, or the daily headlines. Have a profound impact on how they view themselves. This gross misrepresentation has not been lost on the school system. As they, too, have used the classroom as a breeding ground for misinformation. Hence, the reason we have taken it upon ourselves to do our best to educate and change the narrative. To create our own stories and reveal our true history. 

This book is:

  • A book most kids have a hard time putting down because it's inspiring, engaging but, most of all, educational.
  • A great learning resource for adults and children.
  • A model of success our youth can feel a sense of pride about, relate to, and hopefully recognize the endless possibilities they can achieve. 
  • A short and easy read but, it's jammed packed with substance.

 

"How I Met..." is a series for young and early readers about African American inventors, civil rights leaders, black activists, and the many significant contributors, without much fanfare or glory who helped shape the modern world as we know it.

To put on full display the amazing things African American's have accomplished throughout history.
