If you read our last post about how, Every Frame is Deliberate , you know the uncomfortable truth: media has been deliberately designed to shape how Black children see themselves—and it hasn't been in their favor. So what do we do about it at Kidogo Productions? This is exactly why we created Kidogo Productions  and Kidogoville , a magical world where kids can see themselves reflected in every story, every game, and every moment of play. This is why Keeana Saxon, our CEO, add

At Kidogo Productions, we're in the business of building worlds where Black children see themselves as the heroes, inventors, and leaders they're meant to be. But before we could create Kidogoville and develop educational games that celebrate our children, we had to understand exactly what we were up against—and why representation in children's media matters so urgently. Today, we want to talk about something that keeps us up at night and fuels our determination every morning

Hello Friends! If you're in the Northeast, then you might have woken up to a quiet blanket of snow. Snowfalls make me nostalgic. Childhood memories of sledding and trudging come to mind.

Happy Holidays, Friends!! Before I jump to my interview with WERS, I am inviting you to a Kwanzaa event at Just Book-ish!! Come on down for 90 minutes of Kwanzaa fun! I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mo Wilks of  WERS 88.9 FM  recently and I’m sharing it with you all!! May this season remind of us of not only the reason for the season, but also of our own personal WHY (which, for me, is grounded in my faith).  In this interview I talk about why  Kidogo Productions  is

How's everybody during these waning days of 2025? Well and thriving, I hope. I am writing this post at a time when my feelings are all over the place. For instance, I feel encouraged by my daughter's good grades in school (she's putting in the work!), but also discouraged by fear-inducing news. I'd rather look at her beautiful brightful and hopeful eyes than the never-ending soul-crushing headlines. I feel encouraged by the cries for resistance and at the same time discourage

Hello from rainy New England! I hope this post finds everyone well, warm, welcome! Perhaps it's the rain that has me feeling rather somber today. Perhaps it's the ever-alarming headlines. I put "Happy" in quotes because to be happy on this day seems trite, atonal, and misaligned with the overall mood of some of us in the United States. On this day, we should be celebrating the rights, humanity, contributions of the 574 tribes of people who inhabited the United States and ca
