Wash Day Love
It’s wash day―Tasha’s least favorite day of the week!
Wash day means stinging eyes, aching back, and water everywhere, even in Tasha’s ears!
But with big sis comforting her, Mama humming to the music, and Granny telling stories of wash days past, the weekly ritual soon becomes more than a weekend chore―it’s a special bonding time for three generations of beautiful Black women.
Wash Day Love will affirm, empower, and reflect the lived experiences of Black children and resonate with families everywhere.

“Film Makers: 15 Groundbreaking Women Directors”
Women of Power Series #5
In Hollywood, women don’t have to be in front of the cameras to shine.
Each of the 15 women profiled in Film Makers share a common trait: she is, as Shonda Rhimes says, “First. Only. Different.”
These phenomenal women have entered into the film and television industry often being the first woman at a prestigious film school, the first woman to win an award usually given to their male counterparts, or even the first BIPOC to be nominated as—and win—best director at the Academy Awards.
While their resumes are impressive, it is how they live their lives that has made a greater impact in the communities they serve.
