Help Bring More Diverse Stories to Our Children Through Tiger Stripe Publishing

Tiger Stripe Publishing has provided a platform since 2014 to publish books that feature BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People Of Color)  characters for children. Joy Triche, is the Founder and President of Tiger Stripe Publishing and  has been waiting for this call to bring more diversity and representation into the hands of children of color through story books. As an indie publisher, Joy is constantly approached by teachers and schools to provide donations which can be costly. Tiger Stripe recently launched a sponsorship program where individuals or groups can serve as a sponsor for an educator or school and the books will be mailed directly to them. DIVAS for Social Justice, a local community based organization recently partnered with Tiger Stripe and decided to become a sponsor.

 

Please consider sponsoring an teacher or school in receiving free access to this important resource for our community.
