Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices

This is a show for children to see more then one type of child

My daughter is mixed and she is one of a handful of black kids in her school. She often asks me questions about why she looks the way she does and why I look the way I do. Often time this is said in disappointment. That needs to stop! She was so excited to show me this tv series and especially the first episode where the lady removed her wig at the end because she's seen mommy rocking a bald head and wig. This is sooo important for today!

I finished the first season in a little under two hours, and I am very happy with this production! I am not a kid nor a parent, but even as a 23-year-old that's passionate about racial empowerment, these kids book's seemed very inspirational, helpful, and informative without getting too extreme on policies.

I'm an avid reader on books about race, so it was refreshing to see well-known national book award authors like Ibram X Kendi and beloved activists like Common on this production.

Definitely watch this regardless of your age or race. The readers may sometimes ad-lib for a little too long, but overall Bookmarks is a wholesome production about loving yourself and others.
