Kamaria Warren Making a Difference with Brown Girls’ Stationery

When most second-graders plan their birthday parties, they think about cake and games. Kamaria Warren? She was noticing a significant market gap! While preparing for her celebration, Kamaria and her mom, Shaunice Sasser, made a startling discovery—major retailers offered virtually no stationery or party supplies featuring characters that looked like her.

Rather than just accepting this reality, this dynamic mother-daughter duo decided to fix it themselves!

From Problem to Profitable Solution

Working with an illustrator, they created a custom character resembling Kamaria herself. When friends and social media followers saw their creation, the response was electric! They’d tapped into an unmet need.

On January 16, 2017, Brown Girls’ Stationery officially launched, transforming from a birthday party solution into a full-fledged brand. Now operating from their McDonough, Georgia home, they offer everything from notebooks and backpacks to lunch boxes, umbrellas, and party supplies – all featuring representations that celebrate young Black girls.

Business Whiz Kid (Who Still Has Homework!)

Here’s the kicker – while building this thriving business, Kamaria is still rocking seventh grade! This extraordinary balance between schoolwork and entrepreneurship hasn’t gone unnoticed. Her innovative approach has earned her a spotlight on the Today Show and a prestigious BeyGood Foundation grant from Beyoncé herself!

Empire Building (Before High School!)

Not content with just one successful venture, Kamaria Warren has expanded her entrepreneurial portfolio with:

• Mini CEO Academy: Teaching kids business fundamentals, financial literacy, and leadership skills
• Stylish Brown Girls: A vegan leather handbag line (because why stop at stationery?)

The Future Looks Bright (And Beautifully Represented)

With dreams of attending an HBCU and pursuing a career as a director, Kamaria continues breaking barriers and inspiring girls everywhere to embrace their uniqueness.

Through determination, creativity, and an unwavering belief in representation, this young CEO proves that making a difference doesn’t have an age requirement. Kamaria Warren isn’t just selling stationery – she’s rewriting what’s possible for young entrepreneurs while ensuring Black girls see themselves reflected in everyday products.
