Our mission is to amplify the voices of Black youth through the power of culturally relevant literature.
When children cannot find themselves reflected in the books they read or when the images they see are negative, they learn a powerful lesson about how they are devalued in the society of which they are apart.

​

As Told By Foundation exists to provide children with books that allow them to see their own lives
and experiences depicted in a positive way.

Research shows that the most successful way to improve the reading achievement of low-income
children is to increase their access to print. Which is why our programming focuses on providing
students with books at no cost.
