MISSION

To forge stronger connections between parents and schools, with a specific focus on families of Black Boys. I am driven to disrupt the trajectory of the school-to-prison pipeline for Black Boys and narrow the literacy gap for them and all students.

Author's Review
The Kwanzaa Coloring Book

“This book should be required reading for all parents, especially those who have children in extracurricular activities. Too often parents are trying to live their lives vicariously through their kids. Shelia Thomas reminds parents that they should be their child's biggest fan!!!”

“This book is precious! It would make the perfect baby shower or new mom gift for someone who had a boy (because it referenced “son” specifically) although my 2 year old daughter loved it enough to ask me to read it 2 more times immediately! She enjoyed the illustrations and the repeated line throughout. I enjoyed the sweet message of the book. I highly recommend!”
