About Us

Growing Strong Roots for Tomorrow's Leaders

At Nurturing Roots Publishing, we believe every child deserves to see themselves in the stories they read, the lessons they learn, and the world they explore. Our journey began with a simple yet profound realisation by our founder, Eugene Asante, a black father who found himself at a crossroads faced by many parents: the stark lack of educational materials and books reflecting black culture’s rich diversity and beauty.

 

The quest to provide our children with resources that celebrate their heritage and mirror their experiences sparked the creation of Nurturing Roots Publishing. We are more than just a publishing house; we are a movement dedicated to filling the gaps left wide open by the mainstream media and educational resources.
