A Huge Thank You to Waynesboro T-Mobile! We are incredibly grateful to Waynesboro T-Mobile for their generous donation of notebooks! These beautiful notebooks feature cover designs by the talented Sabrena Khadija, a Maryland-based, Sierra-Leonean American artist and illustrator. Sabrena's work reflects their identity as a Black non-binary artist, striving to create art that sparks joy and inspiration while championing diversity and inclusion. 🎨💫 Each notebook is not only visually stunning but also thoughtfully designed, with a magenta string closure and a sticker page featuring empowering messages like "Black History Every Month", "Stronger Together", "Afro Future", "I Am Magic", "Unity", and "Power To Inspire". 🌟 Thank you, Waynesboro T-Mobile, for your support in providing our students with these inspiring and uplifting resources!
