Unveil Lil Herbie: A beacon of empowerment for young minds, celebrating African American excellence through affirmations and cultural pride.

LADSON, SC, UNITED STATES, February 7, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — Sherrika Myers, the visionary behind the Lil Herbie Series children’s book collection and founder of the nonprofit Every 1 Voice Matters, is set to launch the groundbreaking Lil Herbie Affirmation Doll on Wednesday, February 7. This empowering doll is a tangible manifestation of Myers’ commitment to promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles and providing a positive influence for black and brown children, especially those from low to moderate-income communities.

Lil Herbie, conceived from Myers’ deep-rooted desire to instill values such as self-esteem, self-confidence, and perseverance in young minds, symbolizes the transformative power of words and the importance of diversity in society.

Myers, the creative force behind this initiative, shares, “I grew up stuttering in a single-family household without the resources to overcome this barrier. The Lil Herbie Affirmation Doll is designed to be a relatable and positive role model for kids facing similar challenges, empowering them to overcome social barriers.”

The Lil Herbie Affirmation Doll, an essential tool for children’s self-affirmation, features over 30 daily affirmations aimed at boosting self-esteem and instilling self-belief. In a unique and empowering twist, the doll also allows children to record their own powerful messages and play them back, fostering a sense of self-empowerment.

Myers, recognizing the transformative impact of self-affirmation, states, “I understand the importance of speaking positivity into one’s life. It’s what allowed me to produce and release the child within me, becoming the best version of myself. The power to empower oneself lies in the ability to speak affirmations and believe in them.”

The Lil Herbie Series encompasses various initiatives, including children’s books, an animated series, a kids’ coaching program, an anti-bullying mascot, an antibullying and self-esteem school assembly, and now, the Lil Herbie Affirmation Doll. Tailored for ages with a focus on social-emotional learning (SEL), these initiatives assist children in understanding how to cope with their feelings while acquiring essential interpersonal skills.
