Aarenne is an elementary school teacher. As a teacher, she realized that, although there were books geared toward representing black youth, their empowering messages didn't always go beyond physical attributes (hair, skin color, etc.). Aarenne found that while there was definitely a need for this, there weren't enough books that empowered black youth mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. The books she creates and publishes serve the purpose of attending to the spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical needs of the global majority.
