CEO, TENET Consultancy

Ekaette Kern is a dedicated author and advocate for diversity and inclusion in children's literature. Growing up in a multicultural family, Ekaette developed a deep appreciation for the beauty of diverse backgrounds and identities.

Inspired by her own experiences and driven by a desire to empower her daughter Shiloh, who is biracial, Ekaette embarked on a heartfelt journey to create a children’s book series that celebrates diversity and encourages children to embrace their unique identities with confidence and pride.

Ekaette's passion for storytelling is rooted in her upbringing and the values instilled by her mother, Elizabeth Jones. The book series is dedicated to Elizabeth, whose love, guidance, and unwavering support continue to inspire Ekaette's work.

With a background in communications and a commitment to promoting empathy and understanding, Ekaette's books are not only engaging but also serve as valuable tools for educators, parents, and children to explore themes of acceptance, empathy, and cultural appreciation.

Ekaette believes that representation matters, and every child should see themselves reflected positively in literature. Through her books, she aims to create a more inclusive world where children of all backgrounds can feel seen, valued, and empowered.

When she's not writing, Ekaette enjoys traveling, exploring new cultures, and cherishing moments with her family. Her dedication to creating meaningful stories that inspire and uplift young readers continues to shine through in her work.
