Happy Black History Month!
This month, in several different blog posts, I’ll be highlighting my favorite black people who are making the world better, more colorful, or more interesting. Many I’ve found online, a few I know personally, and ALL I would recommend! 🖤🤎🖤🤎🖤
Below are a few of my favorite black female content creators. Enjoy!
🤎Teacher Noire by Alyssa @teachernoire
As a former classroom teacher and elementary school principal, I LOVE when I see people creating classroom resources that are fresh, beautifully designed, and centered around celebrating diversity!
In a time where books and resources are being banned, I feel likte it’s more important than ever that children are able to celebrate all of their differences in the classroom. She also creates stylish t-shirts and accessories.
Teacher Noire has a whole host of amazing classroom resources for Black History Month, Women’s History Month (March), and MORE! I have two of her super cute tops, plus a few other items from her shop.

🖤 I'mNotALawyerBut by Mel @youvegtmel
Mel is one of my favorite internet personalities! If you go on YouTube or TikTok and search “ImNotALawyerBut” You’ll probably go down a rabbit hole of a very thorough, entertaining summary of many interesting current court cases. She also has a fantastic YouTube podcast called “UnderReported,” which covers cases surrounding black women because they are under-reported in the media.
🤎LEILA A CREATES by Leila @leilaa.creates
Leila is one of the most creative minds I know. She is an artist through and through, and her work always brings a smile to my face!
I currently have a couple of prints of hers hanging in my home office.
I love the themes of celebrating femininity, the way she often mixes different textures and mediums, and all the other ways she makes art come alive!

Love & Joy,
