Melanated Stamps

Melanated Stamps is a podcast where I interview dope people who do dope things. I have entirely too many interests and know entirely too many amazing humans who are changing the world using their gifts, talents, and creativity in order to have just one topic. Global travel, dismantling whiteness, living authentically abroad are themes for sure. If you’re interested in being showcased, inbox me and we will make that happen!

    S2E10. Coi’s 5 Wisdom Gems: Microschool Founder, Community, Memphis

    Coi Morrison is an educator, writer, and  mom of four. With over 15 years of experience as an educator and instructional leader, Coi has served children and their families in various capacities, including as an elementary classroom teacher and instructional coach.  After becoming disillusioned with the state of education as we know it, Coi transitioned from the K-12 education setting to a corporate role. However,  her heart remained in education, and in July of 2020 she founded The Black Inquiry Project and released the first BlackIQ – an inquiry-based curriculum that centers Black voices and the Black experience in America.  Coi was the recipient of a grant from the Abolitionist Teaching Network for her work with The Black Inquiry Project. Coi launched The Lab School in hopes that families who value curiosity, freedom of thought, and the power that comes from self-discovery and strength of identity can rest, finally, in an empowered community. The Lab School believes every child’s humanity and innate gifts will guide them to everything they need, and with structure, and freedom of choice, they will find their path and flourish.

    S2E8. Dr. Shayna’s 5 Wisdom Gems: Neuroscientist, Professor, Children’s Book Author

    I am a native of Charleston, SC, USA.  Currently, I reside in Florence, SC, USA with my husband and two young sons.  I received my BS in Neuroscience from Furman University in 2006 and my PhD in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Carolina School of Medicine in 2011.  I am an Associate Professor of Biology and coordinator of the African and African American Studies Program at Francis Marion University (a public liberal arts college in SC) and the founder and owner of Little Sapiens, LLC.  I started Little Sapiens for many reasons, including to share science with others and to increase the visibility of diversity in science.  I create science-related products for children and their caregivers that hopefully help them see the fun and beauty of science as well as the diversity that exists in science.  I think it's important to increase the representation of characters in science-related books as well as increase the diversity of the creators of these books.  Science books for children are on the rise but are still largely written by White scientists and I am helping to change that.  I think our stories, those of Black scientists, should be told by us.  Currently, Little Sapiens has books and other learning tools and apparel.  Our current featured products are From Axon to Zebrafish...The ABCs of Neuroscience board book and adult companion guide.  All products can be purchased through the store site, www.little-sapiens.com.  Anyone not interested in making a personal purchase but still wanting to support, can purchase Pay It Forward products, which will be donated by Little Sapiens to organizations and individuals who may otherwise not have these products due to financial constraints (this type of purchase can also be done through the website, www.little-sapiens.com).    Follow, Subscribe, Like, Share, etc. us at littlesapiens, on IG, FB, and YouTube.  You can also stay posted by subscribing via our website, www.little-sapiens.com.  You can also connect by sending me an email at swrighten@little-sapiens.com if you would like to make a bulk purchase to sell in your retail space or if you have ideas for a new book or other product that you would like to collaborate on.

    S2E6. Erika’s 5 Wisdom Gems: Bilingual Books, Authorpreneur, Mexican in Australia

    Erika Deery was born and raised in Mexico and has called Australia home for over a decade. She has always enjoyed creating characters and giving them a personality. In 2014, she wrote 'Millie va al espacio/Millie goes to space' while travelling solo from Australia to Mexico with her then 6-month-old daughter. It helped a great deal to pass the time on the flight to imagine the adventures she might have gotten up to on a long-haul flight. This was a bilingual book that could be read in English and Spanish. From there, the Millie Books series was born. Erika not only wants kids to hear or read stories in English and Spanish. She also wants to give them the opportunity to see themselves as someone who can have exciting adventures and be whatever they want to be. Through her books, Erika wants to foster children's sense of curiosity, exploration and imagination. My Millie Books series (4 books) is available on Amazon and other online stores.  I also have a podcast called the Bilingual Book Club where I interview authors that write bilingual children's books.  You can listen on Spotify and other podcast apps. Here are all my links and I attach some photos but also a link if you would like to use others: Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Erika-Deery/author/B00W9DH2IE Booktopia: https://www.booktopia.com.au/search.ep?author=Erika+Deery Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/contributors/erika-deery Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/erika%20deery IG: @milliebooks_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MillieBooks Tiktok: @erikainmelbourne Web: www.mlliebooks.com and I also have a podcast: bilingualbook.club
