While serving as coordinator of the AAMI at Sinclair College\, De’Shawna completed coursework in Black Studies alongside her students. She received an assignment to complete a children’s book about any subject in Black history. She wrote: “If She Can Do It\, I Can\, too!” Friends and family encouraged her to publish the book\, which is now a reality! The featured women paved the way so the path would be smoother for generations! CLICK HERE FOR BOOK WEBSITE: https://www.ifshecandoit.me/ Black Is… by author Mia Morton Hubbard. It is an engaging story about a young boy and his wise grandmother as they embark on a magical adventure\, exploring the wonderful world of the color black through nature\, animals\, and people. Along the way\, the young boy learns that his skin is a beautiful treasure\, filled with strength\, pride\, and uniqueness. This heartfelt tale offers an empowering message for those who may sometimes question their identity\, encouraging them to embrace the beauty within. This book was born to fill a void\, to provide a mirror for children of color to see themselves\, and a window for all children to learn about and celebrate diversity. Black Is… is a story of self-discovery\, offering readers a meaningful exploration of the value and power of their skin. CLICK HERE FOR MIA’s WEBSITE: https://miamortonhubbard.com/ A Day of Art & STEM with Uncle Trey by author Leroy Long III. This children’s book is based on Dr. Long’s interactions with his six nieces and nephews. Uncles and other father figures like him matter. As a child\, Dr. Long did not realize how his love for drawing connected to career fields like engineering. So\, he has tried to make the connection between art and STEM clear to youth in his family and the community. CLICK HERE FOR DR. LONG’s WEBSITE: https://linktr.ee/drleroylongiii
