About Me
Your Parents Couldn't Teach You About Money. But You Can Break That Cycle for Your Child.
A Children's Book That Makes Money Make Sense—So Your 7-12 Year Old Grows Up Confident About Cash, Not Confused By It
You know that moment.
Your child asks: "Mom, why can't we just get more money from the ATM?"
And you freeze. Because nobody ever explained it to you either.
You figured out money the hard way—through mistakes, debt, and lessons that cost more than they should have. Your child doesn't have to.
Let's Keep It a 'Buck'
Most of us weren't raised with real financial game. We were told: "Go to school. Get a job. Pay bills."
But nobody sat us down and said: "Here's how money moves. Here's how you make it work for you."
So when I became a father and community educator, I made a decision—my kids and yours would not repeat that cycle.
That's why I wrote Money Lessons for Melanated Minds. Not a boring textbook. Not a fairy tale. A story that makes wealth make sense to kids ages 7-12—in words and images they'll never forget.
Because if we don't teach them now, the world will teach them later—and charge interest for the lesson.

Money habits form between ages 7-12. Wait until high school? Too late. Wait until they're adults? Way too late.
Every day you wait, they're forming beliefs about money—with or without you.
