About Harlem


"I'm new to the children's publishing world, but I'm no stranger to the joys and challenges of girlhood. I was once a little girl, and I raised one too. Sweetly enough, it's still a family thing. Her daughter inspired me to create my ever-so spirited main character, Niya! I've always had a deep passion for storytelling. I'm on a mission to create a kids platform that uplifts, empowers, and brings childhood smiles to young girls everywhere."

Fun Facts About Me:

  • I grew up loving stories, snacks, and Saturday morning cartoons.
  • I believe books should feel like a hug and a high-five.
  • I live in New York City---where every street in my neighborhood has a story (and a bodega).
  • I think glitter is a neutral color when it comes to being a kid.
