About Us
Stories that help young people understand identity, dignity, and allyship
We create cinematic, story-driven educational media that helps young people explore belonging, fairness, and what it means to show up for one another.
Blending storytelling, music, visual imagination, and emotionally grounded teaching, our work makes complex ideas feel clear, human, and accessible. We believe children deserve media that does more than entertain or instruct. It should help them feel seen, think deeply, and move through the world with empathy and courage.
In a moment when conversations about diversity, equity, inclusion, and LGBTQIA+ lives are increasingly politicized, we believe young people need thoughtful, affirming, age-conscious tools more than ever. Not to frighten them. Not to harden them. But to help them understand themselves, respect others, and hold on to their humanity in a culture that too often rewards fear, silence, and division.
This project is rooted in a simple belief: every child deserves dignity, safety, and the freedom to belong.
Why This Work Matters
Young people are already noticing difference. They are already navigating identity, exclusion, curiosity, friendship, fairness, and the pressure to decide who is allowed to count.
Too Shallow
Much existing media skims the surface, offering slogans without substance — leaving children without real understanding of why fairness matters.
Too Clinical
Academic framing can make important ideas feel distant and cold, disconnecting children from the emotional truth at the heart of justice.
Too Disconnected
Content that ignores children's real lives misses the mark entirely. We create work that meets young people exactly where they are.
This project is about helping young people build the language, confidence, and courage to resist dehumanization and practice care.
Core Values
Visually Compelling. Emotionally Honest. Genuinely Useful.
In Classrooms
Designed to spark meaningful discussion and support educators leading conversations about difference, fairness, and identity.
In Homes
Stories that families can explore together — opening doors to conversations about belonging, courage, and what it means to care for one another.
In Communities
Built for youth-serving organizations, community spaces, and programs that prioritize the whole child and the world they're growing into.
Antiracism and Allyship
This work is deeply connected to antiracism — and antiracism is far more than rejecting overt prejudice. It is about helping young people understand how exclusion works, how stereotypes become normalized, and how silence can protect harm.
When children learn these habits, they build foundations that matter across many forms of injustice — including racism. We want young people to do more than learn the language of inclusion. We want them to practice courage, care, and accountability.
Meet the Founder
Brandee Blocker Anderson
This project was created by Brandee Blocker Anderson—an educator, lawyer, children's book author, and creative storyteller working at the intersection of identity, justice, youth education, and culture.
A former Teach For America corps member, Brandee taught English Language Arts and Social Studies at Sankofa Freedom Academy Charter School before earning a master’s in education from the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education and a J.D. from Columbia Law School, where she served on the editorial board of the Columbia Journal of Race and Law. She currently teaches Critical Race Studies at Drexel Law School and is the CEO and founder of The Antiracism Academy. Her leadership experience also includes service as a presidential appointee and as the former Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer for the City of Philadelphia.
This project grew out of her broader body of antiracism work for children and families, including the Teach Me Antiracism children's book series. Across every format, the throughline has remained the same: helping young people understand themselves, respect others, and challenge harm with honesty and heart.
As a Black bisexual mother, educator, and former musical theater kid, Brandee brings both rigor and imagination to the work.
Think Mr. Rogers meets Kimberlé Crenshaw—with a little musical theater heart.
