Alli Frank & Asha Youmans, TINY IMPERFECTIONS

Alli: We think it's a unique lens in looking at a school and looking at a private school. The intergenerational part is … fifty years of these three women who are black who have lived through different generations in this very privileged, rarified world. It, through humor, looks at what similarities they share with the community of which they’ve invested themselves professionally and educationally, but also how they're different. It is all about love with the family, but it's also love of a school community. For us, we've both been educators for over twenty years. We love schools so very much. In a way for us, this is our love letter to schools and love letter to school communities because no other company is full of humans for whom the product is actually humans. When you have that, it's just a whole lot of messiness, but a whole lot of love. That's really why we wanted to write this.
