Hi, I am Tatyerra Mikell! I am a Chicago-bred creative storyteller focused on creating positive representations of Black girls. With ten years of experience as a communications and marketing professional, working in spaces dedicated to creating a better world for children, I realized my passion for children’s media. That led to a career at Sesame Workshop, the creators of Sesame Street, and writing my first children’s book. I look forward to utilizing my skills as a storyteller and marketer to amplify Black girls’ experiences in the kidlit world.
