Angelot Ndongmo is a first generation Canadian who was born and raised in a single parent household from a very young age.
Remembering her own personal struggles as a young African-Canadian girl, she recognized the need for reading materials geared towards black children that would help them embrace their own beauty and enchanting features.
The Loving Me™ Series first began as a hobby for author, Angelot Ndongmo. An independent bookstore owner, Sean Liburd of Knowledge Bookstore, noticed the her ability to connect with others through her book reviews she would write on his website. He pulled her aside one day and asked when her first book would be coming out. This pointed question led the author on an journey of self discovery and as the days and weeks passed, a burning desire set in to do something about it. She knew firsthand of the disconnect to self worth that can happen particularly in young black children.
This award-winning children’s author’s first professional writing accomplishment was an article published in Black Woman & Child magazine. She has always enjoyed working with youth and writing in her pastime. Those two worlds collided during her position as a youth worker. The end result was her first children’s book titled Loving Me which was met with great success! Many parents expressed their desire to engage their young sons as well, thus giving way to her follow up children’s book titled Boy! I Am Loving Me!. Twitter – Angelot Ndongmo is currently working on branding the series.
The Loving Me™ Series creates a new standard by brilliantly fusing cultural education and entertainment (edutainment). Not only does it visually and audibly inspire children in a way that has never been done before, it provides parents the opportunity to interact with their child(ren) and provide cultural stimulation that is vital in helping to build a solid foundation of self-love and acceptance during their child’s most important time…their formative years!
The brand has expanded over the years to include:
1) Paperback versions of the Loving Me™ series (available online for order at Knowledge Bookstore and at A Different Booklist
2) eBooks available on Amazon.com – Angelot Ndongmo
3) The Loving Me™ Song available on iTunes and cdbaby.com – Loving Me™ Song (song features Canadian talents: Comedian Jay Martin, Owen O’ Sound Lee, Suzy B from Black Blush Make-up and Rave Groves)
