Black Innovators Who Electrified the World

Electricity powers nearly every part of modern life, from lighting and transportation to communication, medicine, and technology. Yet many of the innovators who helped develop electrical systems and energy solutions have been overlooked or left out of traditional history lessons. Black inventors, engineers, and scientists have played a vital role in advancing electricity and energy technology, often while overcoming limited access to education, funding, and professional recognition. Their work continues to influence how electricity is generated, stored, and used today.

Best Books for 0 - 12 months

Want to know what to read to your newborn but not sure what? You've come to the right place, just keep reading.

Ideally you want to read any and everything aloud to your newborns before they are old enough to have an opinion or preference. (As long as there is nothing x-rated in the reading material of course.) 

This includes any book or topic of interest you may have whether Math, Astronomy, Cooking, Finance etc you name it. You can read it aloud at night in lieu of a bedtime story, at this young age. The goal is to give your child the opportunity to hear many words, read your lips and develop a rich vocabulary. 

If you'd rather get your hands on child friendly books; here are some books my children and I 

have enjoyed at the newborn - 12 month stage:

1. High Contrast Books (For example picture books in black & white.


2. Books that have texture (to encourage little ones to interact with the book)

i. Bright Baby Books







ii. Melissa & Doug Poke A Dot Books 

3. Books with stories that can be sung.


4. Water proof books that can handle drool, spill or bath time.








5. Any small and chunky books that they can hold themselves with their tiny hands once they start grasping things.


6. Padded Baby Books (especially for babies in the throwing stage. It can take some wear) These also have mostly pictures and fewer words which makes it great for independent reading. It's also another good way for your little one to learn and retain some new vocabulary.



BONUS

7. Books with bonus music CDs that you can toss in the car to add some calm and fun to car rides.
