Black Authors.
Here are some authors or books featuring black characters. Isabella-Grace's growing library consists of many of these because she loves seeing reflections of herself in books; I do too. Growing up there were rarely any books representing children or people of colour, so often I did without sadly. For my daughter I am glad that there is a variety of books she can identify with. Representation matters and it starts with me in our home. So here is my list of books:

Black Owned Bakers.
This list features black bakers. I thoroughly enjoy putting these posts together because I have been exposed to so many talented individuals. Each week I was blown away by the amazing brands out there who are using their gifts to create happiness in even the smallest of ways. This list features black women and men who are fantastic at designing and baking delicious cakes - some I know personally and honestly their cakes are everything! 😍😍 As always please try to show them your support! If you know someone who is in need of cake - point them in their direction. Let's do more to support small businesses.

Black Beauty Brands.
This list features black beauty brands. For those who know me personally they know that I am make-up obsessed! I love trying out new brands and new make-up looks. I remember when we were moving and all of our things were put in the vans. There were two enormous suitcases left and I asked the removal team to be very gentle with them. They made a joke and asked what was inside and I laughed and said, "make-up of course!" Needless to say they were in hysterics! I hope that this list is helpful to you in someway.

Black Podcasts.
This list features some black podcasts - this is in two parts because Instagram was being problematic and would not allow me to upload them all. Anyway, each podcast is unique and discusses a variety of topics ranging from career, relationships, life as a black woman/man, travel, black mental health, education and so forth. As always please try to show them your support and have a listen to what they have to say.

Their products are absolutely amazing and beautiful! I have personally purchased from most of the brands featured for either myself, my daughter or loved ones and the customer service has always been second to none. These brands deserve to be celebrated and not overlooked or overshadowed by the "bigger" companies. I say this with confidence; bigger does not always mean better!
The many talented individuals within the black community is astounding! When searching for black podcasters, musicians and singers I was really impressed by the amount of amazing talents we have surrounding us. I know there are many more out there especially in a variety of categories; YouTubers, Artists, Graphic Designers, Seamstresses, Actors and so forth, if you know of any please do tag them below. Kindly try to show those mentioned in this post your support. I hope this post has helped.
With Love,
