Brave. Black. First.: 100 Postcards Celebrating More Than 50 African American Women Who Changed the World (2020)
These 100 stunning postcards celebrate 50 groundbreaking African American women, from Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks to Angela Davis and Beyoncé–published in collaboration with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture.
Based on the children’s book Brave. Black. First., these empowering postcards celebrate artists, athletes, activists, politicians, and writers who championed civil rights in their communities. Each card features the portrait on the front and, on the back, an inspiring quote, short biographical information, and space for writing a message. With two postcards for every portrait, you’ll have one to send and one to save. Taken together, the collectio captures the iconic moments of fifty African American women whose heroism and bravery rewrote the American story for the better.

I Am Alfonso Jones (2017)
Named to the 2018 Top Ten Great Graphic Novels for Teens list (Young Adult Library Services Association) and the New York Public Library’s list of Best Books for Teens.
Alfonso Jones can’t wait to play the role of Hamlet in his school’s hip-hop rendition of the classic Shakespearean play. He also wants to let his best friend, Danetta, know how he really feels about her. But as he is buying his first suit, an off-duty police officer mistakes a clothes hanger for a gun, and he shoots Alfonso.
When Alfonso wakes up in the afterlife, he’s on a ghost train guided by well-known victims of police shootings, who teach him what he needs to know about this subterranean spiritual world. Meanwhile, Alfonso’s family and friends struggle with their grief and seek justice for Alfonso in the streets. As they confront their new realities, both Alfonso and those he loves realize the work that lies ahead in the fight for justice.
In the first graphic novel for young readers to focus on police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement, as in Hamlet, the dead shall speak–and the living yield even more surprises.
Featuring a foreword by Bryan Stevenson, Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative and author of Just Mercy.

“What I would tell my teen self about mental health 1. Mental health will become a “trend” in a few years but nobody talks about it now. But you need to know it’s just a basic part of taking care of yourself. 2. Stop being a doormat/pushover thinking you’re being “kind” or “nice”. Listen, you can be at peace for a couple of years this way but at some point you are going to burn out and then become the opposite extreme. Don’t let that happen. Speak up. Be kind and be nice but first and foremost to your own self. 3. Love is whatever you let it be. Love can be jealous. Love can be possessive. Love can be abusive. Love can be whatever unacceptable shit you let yourself be subject to. People do unspeakable things on the name of love. Love has no definition. That’s dangerous. Whatever happened happened. But from now on know this, love is overrated. But freedom, joy and safety are not. 4. People say you’re the writer of the book of your life. Bull shit. There’s a lot we have no control over. We are not the writer of our life. However, we can be the editor. Whatever is handed to us, we can edit. That power is solely ours. Even if a chapter is so bad and painfully written, we can somehow salvage it so that it holds the book of our life together, so that we can get through it and still continue. 5. Their mental health is important. But so is yours. So you have the right to leave. It’s okay. It’s not selfish. But if you expect to get back in touch when you see them doing better, that is. Because then you leaving wasn’t for your mental health but because you simply didn’t care enough. 6. People apologize and do the same things over and over and over. They don’t need the benefit of the doubt after the 2nd time. Every other chance you give them is taking away a chance from you for living a better life. Don’t do that to yourself. 7. Don’t take everything you read/hear on face value. But don’t have your eyes on auto eye-roll either. Find that balance between ignoring and believing. 8. Just because you express and feel emotions more intensely than most others doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you or that you’re emotionally or mentally unstable. You’re just more capable of feeling, more aware of everything and more reactive to every word and sensation than those around you. It may seem like a drawback at first but it’s your strength, you’ll realize that in the long run.”

creative black women you should know
Magic runs through all black women. Everywhere. It’s an unshakeable ancestral prize that has influenced fashion designers to popstars. There’s so many of us, that it may be difficult to pinpoint us all. Never fear, because I can happily direct you to some! Here are a few young, gifted, and black women that should be on your radar.
Neff Davis (aka FilmColors):
Street smart, style smart, hotel smart and film smart. DMV native Neffatari Davis is a director and color-theorist (in fact, she was the one who inspired me to explore color theory and cinematography). Having worked for HBO and Playboi Carti, the uber-gifted Neff is a force to be reckoned with. Like Jessica Pressler wrote, Neff has an eye for detail: color, symbols, and references. For all the film buffs, look out for Neff’s upcoming projects (such as the Anna Delvey film coming to Netflix)!

Alice (aka, Creepy Bad Witch):
This anime loving, book guzzling, skincare sorceress concocts candles, face masks, shower gel potions, and a shit-ton more salves and serums for the body and mind. Over the years, her (brilliant) shop has gone through its series’ of transformations, switching from the name Shrine of 9 (her birthday is 09/09/1990) to Filthy Cosmetics. No matter the name, Alice is a walking orb of creativity, from her tattoos to her product names. Get familiar!
www.filthycosmetics.com
Pea the Feary:
This Afro-Futurist is the future. Pea the Feary is an artist in every sense of the word. She creates portraits of ethereal beings such as the aforementioned Alice and Frank Ocean, crafts pins based on your zodiac sign, and graphic designs posters with messages that you need to hear. Do yourselves a favor and buy something from this magical black girl.
www.peathefeary.com
Tierra Whack:
Step into Philly rapper Tierra Whack’s “Whack World”, and you’ll quickly realize that it is anything but. Traveling from room to room and world to world, Tierra delivers nothing but excellence through the use of clever concepts, sly lyricism, and genius melodies: dancing with muppets in a cemetery, using her nails to tell a story, and beautifying a taxidermed dog. Indulge in Tierra’s latest project on YouTube.
Aurum Amare:
Quality, handmade, homegrown, and original clothes that include plus sized women? You’re not dreaming. Aurum, (while going to school and interning, mind you) co-owns a boss business called Pink Plastic, with options ranging from modest to revealing. Whether you want to serve school girl or silked down sophistication, Pink Plastic has options for everyone.
www.shoppinkplastic.com
Shade Renee:
“O-P-U-L-E-N-C-E. Opulence”. A self proclaimed “Entreprenegro”, Shade is the owner of the luxurious Spilling Pearls. Inspired by the posh opulence of high fashion, Shade includes diamonds, polished garments, and well…pearls, into her gorgeous brand. If you’ve been looking for a black owned high end retailer, you’ve found one.
www.pearls.studio
Renell Medrano
From Solange to Bella Hadid, to Kelela to A$AP Ferg, Renell has pointed her magic lens towards a plethora of people. Hailing from the Bronx, Medrano experienced life through her lens, hence her focus on documentary photography. Both unsuspecting and glorious, her subjects are always captured personally and beautifully.
www.renellmedrano.com
Eryn Amel
Mom, poet, and entrepreneur? Yes. Eryn Amel is the creator of what I’ll call a Statement Shop. Her shirts read “It is Impossible To Shame a Woman Who is Unashamed”—all of her merchandise a blatant “fuck you” to patriarchy and misogyny. Whether you’re experiencing what this wickedly intelligent woman has to offer though her poetry books or her Instagram, Eryn is definitely a creative black woman you should be hip to.

Warsan Shire
Choosing just one, sole quote to introduce Warsan is impossible. Warsan Shire is a wordsmith whose works focus on identity—what it makes you, and turns you into. Author of “Teaching My Mother How to Give Birth”, Warsan’s work was also featured in Beyoncé’s “Lemonade” (she penned all of the poems). Simply put, Shire’s work cuts deep. She articulates painfully common complexities women (particularly Somali women) endure in a way that is precise, and at times, uncomfortable.

Nathalie Owusu
Ghanaian beauty blogger Nathalie does makeup. And, she does it well. With her expertise ranging from the perfect smokey eye on dark skin to the perfect bright lip, Nathalie has got you covered. Paired with her display of makeup looks, Nathalie offers indispensable advice for black girls, particularly ones with darker skin: “To all my chocolate girls: wear those pastels, that ruby red lip, those bright colors”.
