“We started our publishing company with our three children in mind, as we see the mainstreaming of content that highlights positive images of brown children as a solution to one of the most urgent problems facing Black children today,” says company co-founder and CEO Teresa Baker.
She adds, “BBBG is changing the narrative. In the wake of the social injustice and mischaracterizations by the media surrounding teens, as they have done with Trayvon Martin and Mike Brown, it is now more important than ever that all children see the beauty in themselves, as well as the beauty in others.”
After publishing their debut book titled Josie’s Bedazzled Shoes, the BBBG brand has since extended its platform to include multicultural children’s books written by independent authors and youth authors of color. In addition to their own original releases, BBBG offers self- publishing and printing resources to individuals and companies in addition to their own original releases. This cost-effective solution helps independent authors fill the void in the market of multicultural children’s books by aiding authors in encouraging reading and boosting high self-esteem among children of color through their literary works.
