Inspire confidence, creativity, and cultural pride with the Black Learners Matter Too Coloring Book – Middle School Version, a powerful resource designed specifically for students in grades 6–8. This unique coloring book goes beyond basic art activities—it provides a space for students to explore their identity, reflect on their experiences, and celebrate their brilliance through meaningful self-expression.

Each page features bold affirmations like “My story has power,” “I am more than enough,” and “I lead with strength and purpose.” These messages are paired with thoughtfully crafted illustrations that represent diverse cultural experiences, personal growth, and the beauty of individuality. In addition, reflection prompts encourage deeper thinking, self-awareness, and classroom conversation around themes such as identity, resilience, and belonging.

This resource is ideal for use in advisory periods, SEL blocks, mentorship programs, after-school settings, or quiet reflection time in the classroom. It supports positive racial identity development, enhances social-emotional learning, and gives students an opportunity to express themselves creatively in a supportive, empowering format.

Whether used independently or as part of a broader culturally responsive curriculum, the Black Learners Matter Too Coloring Book – Middle School Version reminds students that who they are—and where they come from—is worthy of pride, power, and celebration.
