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.
