Black Phoenix Ink

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit based in Newark, Delaware that empowers Black children through positive literary representation and uplifting racial storytelling. We create anthologies of Black children’s literature and distribute them free of charge to Black kids in our local communities. Our process is simple. We collate Black stories written and told by African and diasporic authors that embolden and empower Black kids and teenagers, generally within the age range of 5-15. We encourage our youth to dream outside limiting social expectations and believe in themselves wholly and completely. We source these stories by organizing short story contests. Excitingly enough, we receive entries from Black people all over the world.
