Meet Bellen. She& #39;s an extraordinary young lady that I have the honor of teaching. This week, she announced that she is launching her very own brand of multi-cultural crayons. Soon after, Crayola announced their relaunch their multi-cultural crayons (available since the 90s). 1/ https://twitter.com/BellenTheBee/status/1250098059360579589">https://twitter.com/BellenThe...

While I am happy that Bellen& #39;s message has been celebrated and that more children around the world will have crayons that represent their skin tone, I& #39;m also sad and disappointed that her time in the spotlight has been overshadowed. 2/

I would love for people to give her a shout out and learn more about http://morethanpeach.com"> http://morethanpeach.com  3/ #morethanpeach #manybeautifulshades #representationmatters
