As a mother of four (super perfect) children who have skin\u00a0shades ranging \u00a0from deep ebony to sweet chestnut (and let’s not forget my \u00a0husband whose ethnicity is a mystery), I have made it a priority in my home to teach each child to be proud of their body. \u00a0 If there is anything I want for my children, it is for them to be proud of who they are (inside and out) and know that they have everything they need to make their dreams come true. \u00a0Race is a very open subject in my home. \u00a0 We talk about being black, white, biracial, multiracial, etc. \u00a0I teach my children that race is a fact that we can not forget and race is a\u00a0myth that we should never believe. \u00a0Finding items that resemble my family physically has been a challenge. \u00a0 SO I’ve been working hand-in-hand with my mother (a gifted painter and artist) to offer\u00a0my collections\u00a0in different skin shades.\u00a0 I am pleased to announce that\u00a0almost all my collections are now available in more than one skin tone and\/or hair type.\u00a0 I know these don’t even begin to cover the range of gorgeous skin tones we have in the world, but it’s a jumping off point. \u00a0A special thanks to my dear mother, Sandra Anderson, for her undying support in of my company and often being “the head of my art\u00a0department.” \u00a0 The hours\u00a0you have spent re-touching, painting, sketching, re-sketching, and going over each image to perfection has not gone unnoticed.\u00a0 Love you.<\/em><\/p>\n
