After earning her MFA in film from CalArts, Vashti Harrison’s insightful films and documentaries have gone to be celebrated at film festivals around the world. Now a freelance graphic designer and a picture-book illustrator, the Brooklyn-based artists latest project brings her storytelling talents to the page, celebrating 40 Black women who have changed the course of the planet.

Little Leaders: Bold Women in Black History is a beautiful picture book that explains each historical figure’s impact and accomplishments alongside a gorgeous illustration. Counting among its fans the likes of Ava DuVernay and Chelsea Clinton, the book serves as an inspiration and education to little Black children who are often forced to see themselves in the media in a negative light, if at all.
