The BlackLIT Box

For: Kids and adults

Every month, BlackLIT sends subscribers a mix of lifestyle items and a featured book by Black authors and entrepreneurs. Choose between fiction; nonfiction like memoir, self-help, social science, and business; Christian books; books specially curated for male readers; and children's books (even board books like Woke Baby) to support Black creators and businesses! You'll also receive 3-5 high-quality lifestyle products from independent Black-owned small businesses, for a total value of over $100+ in every box. And best of all? BlackLIT is owned and curated by an educator, so each box comes with 5 thoughtful questions about the book to foster discussion. We think BlackLIT is well on their way to their goals of increasing representation in literature and closing the literacy gap.

3rd-5th Grade Level Box (Updated)

For: Girls in 3rd-8th grade

Black Girl MATHgic is the only subscription box based around instilling math confidence in girls. Founded by a math tutor with 15+ years experience, this small business aims to shrink the prevalence of math anxiety in girls and women -- particularly Black girls -- and narrow the racial and gender gaps when it comes to STEM. "Math is the foundation of STEM," founder Brittany explains. And while Brittany makes clear that the box is for all girls, "no matter their racial or ethnic background," math anxiety hits women and girls of color the hardest. Girls who subscribe to Black Girl MATHgic will receive real-world math lessons in each box, as well as related games and activities to drive home what they learn, fun bonus items, and a "Caring Adult Guide" to help parents support their children in learning.

Music Library

For: Toddlers and little ones

About the Box: This children's book subscription teaches kids about music -- and music history -- through picture books and related products about different genres and historical trailblazers in music. Young readers and their families can learn musical history from the stories of people like "mambo king" Tito Puente, American history through the lens of songs like "We Shall Overcome," and life lessons of perseverance, inspiration, and creativity from titles like Because by Mo Willems & Amber Ren. Founder Shannon curates each box to come with additional activities and bonus items to learn more (and practice!) the genre of music featured in that month's book.

Shipping: Ships worldwide from the U.S. on the 20th of the month
