EMERGING ARTIST CREATES COLORING BOOK SERIES FOR BLACK GIRLS THAT CELEBRATES THEIR HAIR


Nationwide -- Taaj Marjanee, owner and illustrator of Yumme Brand, believes that Black girls should enjoy being creative while coloring and painting characters that look like them. Growing up she didn't see coloring books dedicated to Black girls and neither did the women in her family before her.

After playfully sketching her face on top of an ice cream cone, she thought it could be fun to design a coloring book. So she mixed up different types of sweet treats with all the unique hairstyles that Black girls wear every day and decided to call it "Color Me Yumme."
