I’m Proud to Be Natural Me! brand books, gifts, and tees were created to celebrate and reflect your child’s unique beauty.
As the mom of beautiful brown skinned girl, I quickly learned how little was available to show her that her hair, her skin, her lips are beautiful. As I searched the TV channels for programming, and the toy aisles for dolls, and (worst of all) the party supply stores for birthday decor, I realized that stores weren’t making an effort to provide products with characters that looked like me. I wanted my daughter to have a birthday party with options beyond Tiana and Doc McStuffins. It heartbreaking to see aisle after aisle representing everyone but us. So I decided to create my own solution. I designed a host of products—from birthday tees to gift bags, invitations to plates and napkins with characters with curly hair and melanin. I illustrated little girls and boys with albinism and vitiligo, from the deepest mocha to the lightest latte. I did this so children can choose characters that look like them AND they can take it a step further and put their name on it. Our kids are beautiful and special and deserve to feel honored and celebrated everyday, and especially on their special days.
