Mia Morton Hubbard is an educator who reared her children in a predominantly white neighborhood and school system. Because they saw themselves as different, she instilled in them that their skin color made them special and unique. She assured them that black is beautiful with examples of its powerful influences in people, animals, and nature. MiaMortonHubbard.com
