NEWLY PUBLISHED: LAILAH LOVES HER CROWN

As a child, I never loved my natural hair. When it wasn’t braided, or straight, I felt like I didn’t fit in… I was ashamed. Now that I am older, I want little girls to never feel they have to hide or cover up the true beauty that God gave them. “Lailah Loves Her Crown” teaches young girls and even grown woman to walk in pride and love who they are, despite what’s deemed “beautiful” in society.

A Word from the Author

What People Are Saying

“This is an amazing piece of literature that narrates the lovely relationship between a mother and her daughter. The book captures the transition of Lailah from self-doubt and self-rejection to self-confidence and self-awareness. The author's ability to capture the emotional depth of Lailah’s most fragile moments and how she overcame them in a way that left me encouraged and enlightened, and I consider this an absolute skill of expressive writing. Each paragraph carefully and concisely brought me into Lailah’s story while allowing for a great level of introspection and enlightenment.”

“This book is necessary for children of all ages because it’s important for us to know that beauty is from within not from what our hair looks like, or what we wear.”

— Bria Warren

“I love the illustrations, and the fact that it is so relatable to the culture! We all remember sitting in the chair and getting our hair done, and not being able to lay correctly because our hair is too tight!! Lol ”
