In a heartwarming collaboration that began last year, Dontaye Carter and his five-year-old daughter, Kyleigh, are making waves with their inspiring new children's book. Their mission? To shine a light on Black fatherhood and the significance of Black families through the power of storytelling.
Dontaye Carter, a prominent figure residing in Atlanta, Georgia, has made a name for himself as the Lead Strategist and founder of Carter Media Group. His work has been instrumental in various high-profile campaigns, including efforts to raise awareness about Ahmaud Arbery's tragic passing and amplifying the voices of survivors and their families in the R. Kelly case.
Carter succinctly captures the essence of their creative endeavor, stating, "When you don't see yourself in the media around you, it's on us to write the new story." Through their book, this father-daughter duo is doing just that - crafting a narrative that celebrates the beauty of Black fatherhood and the strength of Black families. Their story is a testament to the power of representation and the importance of sharing diverse voices in children's literature.
