Here's My Story

Harassed in the 6th grade by kids at her school... 

"Did your fingers get longer since the last time we seen you in elementary school?" Others commenting, "Your fingers are so long and longer than ours", when she was in elementary school." Sad and annoyed, Sumer Strawbree had a talent that they didn't know about. But, now they do. 

Word got around school as pictures of Sumer's first coloring book, "Black, Brown & Beautiful" began to flood her Instagram (@sumerstrawbree) and even more pictures of her supportive community and customers posed with her and her book. Furthermore, she proudly wears her t-shirt brand to school that is getting her more positive attention these days for her fingers abilities to draw digital art on the pro level.

Now she's in the 7th grade. She was asked what the kids say about her now and she responded with confidence, "They think I'm famous!" However, her self-esteem was already built high before they were asked for their current opinion about her through reading her daily affirmations. She realizes it's about what she thinks about herself, not what others think that matters most.

Everyday before school and at 7PM in the evening, she reads her affirmations aloud with her dad in a call and response fashion. Her positive self-image is continuing to rise. She hopes that girls will not only color the positive images on the pages of her coloring book, but would also take the time to read affirmations daily building their self-esteem.

In 2019, Sumer Strawbree won the Master Artist Award from a local art studio. In 2020, she won her school district's Youth Arts Month Award and was named Artist of the Year by her elementary school. 2021 was her biggest year to date winning 1st place at Kid$ Bi$ Children's Fair out of 35 other youth landing her press attention with The Orlando Sentinel, Spectrum News 13 and the Sanford Herald newspaper.

Her goals are to earn an art scholarship for college, have her art that's in color displayed in an art galleries, have her books in bookstores and for her art to be sold internationally.

Furthermore, it is her goal to design a black Barbie Doll, have an animated series on Netflix and have her book and merch sold at Walmart and Target.
