Teen Evolution Education 2021

Let us collaborate to transform the lives of our youth, preparing them with the tools they need to show and share their power. Critical tools that will support them in creating the changes we all wish to see in the world!

Teen Evolution Education, Inc., has created this Alliance with the aim of collaborating with Latino, Black and LGBTQ+ book Illustrators. Together, as a powerful team, we will create the workbook SUPERNOVA: “100 challenges to Show Your Power”, a toolbox that will guide and support teens in developing love for themselves and for the world.

This book, in workbook format, contains exercises and challenges that teach diversity, inclusion and solidarity. We strongly believe it has the potential to significantly impact members of Gen Z.

SUPERNOVA: “100 Challenges to Show Your Power” represents a tool for the self-discovery and transformation of millions of adolescents. It is our intention to reach Gen Z with a message of courage, love and passion needed to create a better world.

In addition, through this alliance we will increase the visibility of participating visual artists, who frequently experience unfair treatment and unequal opportunities.
The illustrations, together with their creators, will not only enhance visually each challenge presented in the book, but will also offer examples of human sensitivity and demonstrate the commitment of participating artists to make this a better world for all.
