Eden's Light

About Eden’s Light

A young Black girl learns that all she needs is the light inside when the world seems dark and scary.

Eden never needed anyone to save her. She did the saving. That is, until one night, she sees something troubling on the TV: the story of a Black man who was beaten by the police. For the first time, Eden feels scared and she’s not exactly sure of what. She does know one thing for sure: the dark seems much scarier now than it did before.

Eden’s parents try their best to explain that she is protected and safe, but none of the things that usually soothe her work. It’s only when her mother reminds Eden that people can never take away her inner light that Eden understands her most powerful tool to fight the dark.
