Throughout #BlackHistoryMonth, we are highlighting two artists each week whose art has had a special impact on youth.

This week, join us in celebrating the work of Marley Dias and Danielle Coke Balfour! ▶️

📚 Marley Dias, an 18-year-old activist and author, initially gained recognition for her #1000BlackGirlBooks campaign. At the age of 11, Marley was frustrated by the lack of books featuring Black girls, so she set out to collect 1,000 books featuring a Black female protagonist to donate to libraries, schools, and community centers. She surpassed her goal, and the campaign sparked important conversations about the need for more diverse characters in children’s books. At the age of 13, Marley went on to write a book of her own titled, “Marley Dias Gets It Done, and So Can You,” a guide that explores activism, social justice, volunteerism, inclusion, and using social media for good. Marley encourages youth to use their voice and take action to change the world. 

📱 Danielle Coke Balfour ☻, known best as @ohhappydani, is a talented artist, speaker, and advocate who utilizes her creative talents to address social injustices. As a graphic designer and illustrator, Danielle has been recognized for her thought-provoking artwork that often highlights themes of racial equity, justice, and empowerment. She challenges stereotypes and sparks conversations about important societal issues through her illustrations. Her work inspires positive change and understanding!
