Special Editions

To the parents, aunties, uncles, siblings, and friends of our special edition customers: WE RECOGNIZE YOU! At the You Are Brand, we are dedicated to offering genuine representation for our Black and Brown children. That's why each special edition book incorporates specific awareness colors—yellow for Albinism, blue and yellow for Down Syndrome, purple for Vitiligo, and for our Autistic children, each headshot features a unique awareness color with the infinity loop displayed on the opposite page.

Lets Get Started!

Minority-owned businesses that provide positive representation boost the self-image of our children and promote a positive depiction in the marketplace. This assists kids in feeling acknowledged in the mainstream economy and increases their chances of success. It also helps develop a sense of pride in their culture and allows them to appreciate the beauty and richness of their heritage.
