Royally Melanated Inc. is a startup publishing company that was established to create a series of children's books intended to uplift and inspire youth of color. After noticing a void in the literary space for books specifically for children that celebrate the culture of people of African descent, we decided to create media that champions a sense of pride and community. 

The money raised through Indiegogo will go towards the production costs and Illustration expenses associated with this project. We firmly believe in providing children with the best forms of literature that is conducive to their learning and aspire to create books that are visually appealing and high quality. Your contributions will provide us the opportunity to create a stellar final product. 

Our minimum funding goal is $10,000, but we would like to raise more so that we can provide greater value to our audience of young readers of color. Please help spread the word and share this project with all your friends on social media. Thanks in advance for your contribution.
