Mom Creates Handmade Crayons to Celebrate the Beauty of All Skin Tones

"Everyone deserves to be represented in art. Furthermore, everyone deserves to be able to depict themselves in art. While painters and creators excel at mixing colors with professional supplies, kids shouldn't have to make do with the one bright pink and one brown crayon in the basic 16-count box. Although brands like Crayola have put in the effort to make skin-colored pigments more accessible to everyone, there's something special about an artisanal approach from someone who has had to deal with the lack of representation in art supplies firsthand. Sabine Joseph, a stay-at-home mom, had issues finding a beeswax crayon that her daughter could use to depict her grandmother's skin color. This inspired her to launch All of Us Art to offer handmade beeswax crayons that celebrate diversity."
