This adorable family came to my book signing at the Listening Tree Bookstore in Atlanta and their sweet little girl was so excited to hear me read "Big Hair, Don't Care". The best part was when I saw her dad mouthing the words from memory as I read them. When a parent knows my book by heart, it's a pretty clear indicator that the book is a family favorite! #weneeddiversebooks #blackkidsread #blackauthors #blackbooks #blackbooksmatter #bighairdontcare #crystalswainbates #goldestkarat #blacklove #buyblack #naturallyme #naturalhair

Besides writing, I’m constantly creating new self-esteem boosting products for black girls. I call these magnets “Pretty Little Clings” and they all have positive affirmations and brown-girl friendly imagery.  Whenever I'm feeling a little bit blah, I walk by my fridge and get a healthy boost of self-esteem.  Yes, I CAN do amazing things! Yes, I AM absolutely fabulous darling! I am indeed a star. Now that we got that out of the way, I can start my day! Speak it into existence!
