Years ago (2011), I created two characters from scratch--- "Mally and Jasper", both of which were created with an intent to help New Orleans youth develop a sense of imagination to follow them throughout the rest of their lives. Initially, this served as an opportunity to give others the confidence to feel artistic in their own ways. Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to take a backseat and watch a host of others create and took mental notes along the way, with @martellusb & @d_brutjr30 being two of the most inspiring factors along the way. My first opportunity to publicize these little guys was at a summer camp years ago, which allowed the kids to create their "Mally and Jasper" as they colored in black and white templates. Furthermore, I have made a decision to start writing Children's Books built around these two characters as they meet a host of friends along the way. At this present moment, I am looking to be connected to a multitude of resources that might be able to assist in my efforts to make this a reality as I begin to put these short stories together. As the stories are put together, I am looking to also create a variety of products to raise awareness to "Mally and Jasper". Please contact me with any resources you might be able to put me in connection with as me and my little friends make a commitment to make literacy a top priority in New Orleans. Thank you all in advance! I will keep you all updated as we make landfall---> 👽↔️🐒↔️🌟↔️💥 #MallyAndJasper #ChildrensBooks #Literacy #NewOrleans #BlackExcellence #BrutonsBooks #TheImaginationAgency S📚L📚N📚S📚Z📚N (at New Orleans, Louisiana)
