REPRESENTATION MATTERS: A COLORING BOOK
Representation Matters is more than a coloring book - it’s a statement. It was created with intention to reflect the beauty, strength, and diversity of Black and Brown people in a way that’s often missing in everyday spaces. When our children don’t see themselves represented, especially in positive and affirming ways, it chips away at how they view their value. This book exists to shift that narrative. Every page is a reminder that our stories, our skin, our culture, and our joy are worthy of being celebrated and seen.
The heart behind Representation Matters is simple: our kids deserve more. They deserve images that look like them, inspire them, and remind them of all they can become. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or community leader, this book is a tool to spark meaningful conversations and build confidence in the next generation.
Purchasing this book means you’re choosing to pour into a child’s self-worth and power. It’s about legacy, visibility, and giving our youth the gift of seeing themselves reflected - boldly and beautifully.

Representation Matters was made with intention - for our babies to see themselves, and for us to reclaim the power of being reflected. If this book made you pause, sparked a conversation, or lit something up inside you or your child, I’d love to hear about it. Your words can be the reason another parent, teacher, or community member brings this message into their space. This isn’t just about reviews—it’s about legacy. Let’s keep showing the world why our representation isn’t optional - it’s essential.
