MEET THE BLACK MOM AND HER 9 CHILDREN WHOSE BILINGUAL BOOKS ARE CHANGING THE WORLD
While writing these books, Ms. Santiago decided to collaborate with various business owners to feature to create a way that will provide Black children with images that reflect who they are while learning multiple languages.
“This family truly understands how representation can help shape young minds,” states Stephanie Wallace, a longtime supporter and customer.
“Our children are geniuses trying to function in a society that does not fully understand how Brilliant their minds truly are,” Santiago said in a Facebook post. After reading the books, Awakening the Natural Genius in Black Children by Amos Wilson and the Miseducation of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson, she understands, how important it is to create solutions, that can help Black children successfully advance their minds into multilingualism.
