How Do I Become…

How Do I Become features Nia’s brother, Kuji. Kuji has a conversation with his dad about what it will take for him to be come “amazing.” He wants to know what it takes to become a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, a computer programmer and much more. His dad assures him that he can be whatever he wants to be, but like his sister Nia, he is already amazing.

Children often talk about what they want to be when they grow up, but don’t know the path to that destination. This book will begin to introduce children to the steps required so that their dreams can be tangible and one day become reality.

The principle Kujichagulia (koo-jee-cha-goo-LEE-ah)  means Self Determination. “To define ourselves, name ourselves, create for ourselves and speak for ourselves.” A child with who can define him or herself without boundaries will be unstoppable.

I LOVE YOU, And There’s Nothing You Can Do About It

This Powerful Nia book is in its infancy, but the premise is one that is so needed in the world today. It is one of love for all, no matter how much hate there may be in the world. I love you if you are nice, I love you if you are mean, I love you if you are cool, I love you if you are nerdy, I love you when you mess up, I love you when you are the greatest friend or the worst enemy. I won’t be mistreated or hurt by you, but I love you with God’s love and there is nothing that you can do about it! Go NIA!
