I started this business due to my nephew, who passed away from Sickle Cell Anemia disease at the age of 9, and I wanted to bring awareness to early detection. The other reason was adolescents’ suicide and crime for children under the age of 15 years old. I believed there was a lack of Black History and Culture taught in the community and schools. Children need to know who they are and where they come from and why.

I wanted to provide an exclusive environment for infants to 5 years old while providing them education in their most formative years about the history and culture of all people of color and the emphasis on African ancestry teaching and learning.

Studies have shown that from infants to five years old, a child’s brain develops more than any other period in a child’s life, and I want to capture that.

Maya Angelou quotes:

Favorite Quote: I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future, and renders the present inaccessible.

"A new world order is in the making, and it is up to us to prepare ourselves that we may take our rightful place in it."

– Malcolm X
