Brown Girls Stationery – Destinee Back-To-School Notebook
Thirteen-year-old CEO Kamaria Warren launched her business in 2015, alongside her mother Shaunice, with the goal of helping Black and Brown girls see themselves represented within the stationery product world.
According to the Brown Girls Stationery official website, Warren’s online store offers an array of products such as: backpacks, t-shirts, notebooks, bedspreads, blankets, shower curtains, umbrellas, notepads and party of supplies for girls of color.
