Let’s go on a journey and explore London with two special little girls – A relatable children’s book to make every child smile
Who doesn’t love a good gift? When someone gifts you with something it always ends up becoming a little more precious to you because each time you see it, you can’t help but remember that someone actually thought of you. That applies to any gift we receive at The Black Belle Review ? We love to review all Black owned products but when something is gifted to us, it holds a special place in our hearts. So with all of that in mind, you can understand how we felt when we were gifted with a copy of a new book by Peléna Cosme about 2 special little girls, who…

The adventures of a special dog and a special bunny…. The book every child needs in their life
There aren’t many children’s books that capture little one’s attention in a way that results in you having to read it over and over again to them.

Generational Wealth – The must read guide to begin building wealth for your family and beyond
I’ve always believed that one of the issues within the Black community is a lack of financial, understanding. One of my favourite Bible scriptures is “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6) And when I think about the lack of financial knowledge that is still prevalent in our community, that scripture comes to mind. A vast majority of other communities spend time learning about generational wealth and how to create it. They then use that knowledge to build wealth for their children, which in turn leads to those children having a significant head start in life. Let me give you an example…. I’ve got friends from…

Even Babies can be Woke! A book subscription box, providing the representation our kids need!
I’m not too proud to say, that I’m that parent that searches high and low for books that portray black children and families, for my kids to read. Reading to me, is one of the greatest things that life has to offer. There is nothing like picking up a good book and escaping into the world that the author has created, whilst temporarily forgetting about the disasters in your own world ??♀️ so I’ve always wanted (and encouraged) my kids to love reading as much as I do. But even as a child I realised that there was something poignant about picking up a book with a Black person on…
