Colored Girl Wisdom
Spreading the Word
On Feb. 24, I had the pleasure of appearing on CBSN's morning news with anchors Vlad Duthiers and Anne-Marie Green. We discussed my latest children's book, "Aria's Rockin' Poufs," and why I am passionate about uplifting little black girls and why I created Colored Girl Wisdom, LLC.
The self-affirming messages of "I am Aria" were shared on Jan. 16, 2020, on a Facebook Live presentation by Ms. Sherry Knight, principal at Capt. James Lawrence Elementary School in Burlington, N.J.
Ms. Knight's weekly reading of children's books, "Knight Tales," has built a growing audience since she introduced it in 2019. Her goal is to encourage young students to embrace reading.
Her reading of "I am Aria" was highlighted by rocking a custom-made crown, a symbol of Colored Girl Wisdom's mission of encouraging young girls to assume their rightful place in the world and stand in their power.
