QUOTES:

"I want the world to think good things about Brown boys. We aren’t bad, or mean, or trouble; we are smart, fun, and creative"

"During the pandemic, with so much going on in the media that children had a front seat to view, our boys needed to be reminded how special they are"

"Dee and I spoke a lot about George Floyd during this time and he was visually sad"

"Our boys are often depicted negatively in the media. On store shelves, the representation is minimal. And within the toys category, there is almost none for our boys. We must have opportunities for our boys to see themselves positively everywhere. Representation matters."
