Hello, SuperCaptainBraveFAM!

Nurse Leah, here.

Did you know that May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month?

Many members of our team are part of the diverse and rich cultures that make up the AAPI community. From author and co-creator Jennifer Norman’s Korean heritage, to the deep Filipino roots myself and illustrator, Victor Lodevico share…

To Kyle, the inspiration for SuperCaptainBraveMan, whose parents gifted him with the magnificent tapestry and interweaving of their Korean and African-American cultures.

We are part of the AAPI Community.

This past year has been difficult for many reasons. Heartbreaking for many more. And yet, there is always hope. I, personally, see this hope in the growing generation of people willing to wear their compassion for others proudly and without fear. Those willing to stand up and bring about change not only for themselves, but for the people around them. Those willing to reach out and share their experiences to foster understanding and empathy.

While this subject is one that is difficult to discuss with kids, we are creators for a book series hoping to begin difficult discussions with children & their parents about differently abled people. As such, we encourage parents, teens, and children to learn more about the experiences of the people in their communities. And since it is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage month, why not start with the experiences we have here in the US?

We stand with the AAPI Community.

One of the core beliefs of the SuperCaptainBraveMan series has always been that of inclusiveness and empathy.

Whether differently abled, neurodiverse, or one of the many brilliantly varied cultures that call Earth home, in our hearts, we believe that all anyone wants and deserves is to be treated with respect, kindness, and compassion.

We are part of the Global Community.
