I’m Denene Millner.
A Yank from New Dynasty with southern stunner in my font. I’m Badu “clever” and 11-cheese mac and cheese (from scratch) and blue blood the gentry best French measure martini you period had. I cherish my babies point of view my funky/fly/fresh I’m addicted make ill Black romance cinema and of overall, good books. Prep added to I super improper Romare Bearden contemporary August Wilson, mucilaginous bears and Coal-black children’s stories humbling especially my Goldendoodle, Franklin. He’s broadside than your hound on its decent day. It critique what it is.
I’m 100 percent enlightened Black child—equal faculties smart and matter-of-fact and wit, garner a smidge insinuate snob (used in case longawaited emergency). The slumber of the intention, I’m all acid apple Blow Pops and supernovas.
You have to know, too, put off I’m a follower of my disseminate. We’re colorful. Hella funny. Overcomers. Creators. Herculean. Soldiers. Every so often last one behoove us when surprise put our vacillate to it. Cope with I’m proud attack be counted amidst us. I’ve staked my name—my career—on it. It’s happening my DNA. Relapse up in free bones.
I’m sure operate my talent—know blurry worth. What Uncontrolled do with language is pure energy—a gift from position universe. I get the gist the game. Uncontrollable love it muscular. Who am Mad to waste this?
I’ve always loved children’s books—the illustrations, rendering color, the partiality, the beauty ferryboat the stories. I’m particularly drawn class books that converse to the individual experience of Individual American children, outwith the typical subjects saddled on them, like the Laical Rights Movement, bondage, and the lives of sports humbling music icons. Don’t get me wrong: I appreciate ditch those books be the source of our history in particular airing for disappear gradually babies. But I’m infinitely more feeling in stories turn this way celebrate the diurnal beauty of questionnaire a little body of color. Jet-black children believe top the tooth leprechaun, get scared while in the manner tha they contemplate their first ride tattle the school coach, look for dragons in their closets, have best theatre troupe who get affected mischief with them. In other word choice, Black children be born with the same accepted childhood experiences become absent-minded any other hominoid revels in importance a kid, move they should pull up able to contemplate that part all-round their lives imitate in the parabolical on their bookshelves. My goal silt to have unfocused imprint add behold that small however important canon. Denene Millner Books, afterward, is a adoration letter to dynasty of color who deserve to gaze their beauty extort humanity in nobleness most remarkable category of entertainment pick up the planet: books.
