I drew myself in my school uniform. I can't wait to go back to school, see my friends and play basketball!

🖤Representation Matters🖤 It was so much fun watching Jaleeah draw her #trueselfie. She took out a few crayons that seemed to be her skin color and held them on her arm to find the most accurate shade.

My boy has been living on the beach and chose a medium golden @crayola Colors of the World crayon to represent his #TrueSelfie. Thank you #Crayola for the free box of 24 and other art supplies.

For Eva's #TrueSelfie she used the new Light Medium Golden @Crayola Colors of the World crayons. Thank you #Crayola for those and other free art supplies.

Hey, y'all! If you know me, you know I love being black and it's important that I teach my children to love their beautiful skin tones as well. However, as a child I remember sometimes feeling inferior, and as though the world just wasn't built for me. Especially when it was time to draw a picture of myself and I either had to use the blackity black crayon or the brown crayon. There was little inclusivity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I'm excited to introduce to y'all @Crayola Colors of the World! The new Crayola Colors of the World skin tone crayons help to advance inclusion within creativity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They didn't just create 24 shades of browns and tans. Crayola worked with individuals from cosmetic brands to create a wide range of crayons that represent skin tones from light to deep across rose, almond, and golden undertones. 😍 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm honestly in love and it was so much fun to find our unique shades and explain to the kids that although we are from the same family, we are different shades. And that is beautiful! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here are the crayons that matched our skin tones. Check the link in my bio for your own box! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ivoray - Extra Deep Rose Me- Medium Deep Golden Jellybean- Medium Deep Almond Chunk- Deep Golden
