Not just a book but a coloring book.
Being a child of the diaspora often means
growing up between worlds carrying pieces of culture,
history and identity in fragments.
Reconnecting with your roots isn’t about the past,
it’s about understanding who you are today.
Heritage gives context, pride and a sense of belonging.
"The Kingdom of Benin " coloring book was created as a bridge,
a creative way to learn, reflect and reconnect.
Through illustration and color, it opens space for conversation,
remembrance and pride across generations.
This is more than a coloring book.
It’s about honoring where I come from and carrying it forward.
