Because every Black boy deserves to know: he is a leader, he is powerful, he is enough.
This colouring book is a bold, affirming space for Black boys aged 5–11 to explore their identity, build self-confidence, and embrace their heritage. With 30 empowering pages featuring phrases like “I am a leader and I make a positive impact” and “I embrace my uniqueness and heritage,” this book helps boys see themselves as valuable, capable, and worthy of greatness.
Created in response to the painful realities of absentee fathers, societal biases, and the lack of positive role models, this book serves as a tool for transformation. It’s for the boy who’s been told he’s a problem. It’s for the child who’s never seen himself celebrated. It’s for every Black boy who needs to hear: You are not a statistic. You are a story worth telling.
Inside you’ll find:

🎨 30 unique colouring pages with bold, uplifting affirmations and other activities
✍🏿 Simple, powerful illustrations designed for young hands and growing minds
💬 Phrases that build emotional strength, cultural pride, and leadership identity
🧠 Supports self-expression, resilience, and screen-free creativity

Why it matters:

Counters negative stereotypes with positive self-talk
Encourages emotional literacy and pride in heritage
Ideal for home, classroom, mentorship programs, or gifting with purpose

This is more than a colouring book.
It’s a declaration. A mirror. A movement.
Because when Black boys know who they are, they grow into men who lead with love, wisdom, and strength.
💬 Creator’s Note
I created this book because I’ve seen what happens when Black boys grow up without affirmation. I’ve seen the statistics. I’ve felt the heartbreak. And I’ve watched society label our sons before they’ve even had a chance to dream.
This book is my way of saying: Not on our watch.
It’s a tool to help Black boys build confidence, embrace their heritage, and understand the power they carry. Because they are more than what the world says, they are leaders. Creators. Healers. Builders of homes and communities.
To every boy colouring these pages—may you know your worth, your strength, and your future.
With love,
Ruthy
