My Skin

‘My Skin’ is based on the feelings of the youth in the world today. There are many people who are not comfortable in their own skin with much of it starting from a young age. The feeling of not being accepted for who you are is often noted online, in the television shows we watch, in commercials, and just being out there doing our day-to-day activities. Loving who you are as a person is very big because how you feel often is the outcome of how you deal with society. My book displays the love of oneself. It is an easy read for the youngsters, but anyone can read and enjoy the beautiful words, the positive message and the beautiful colors that go along with it. In reading this book, I hope that one will gain respect for themselves, as well as others, to be comfortable in the skin they're in and have the confidence to believe in themselves in order to do what they inspire themselves to do. I want my young readers to know that they hold the power to be great.



About the Author



My name is Kameila Stephens, the author and illustrator of 'My Skin'. I am a Long Island, New York native. I love drawing and I am getting into the habit of writing and sharing my thoughts with the world. I was inspired to write a book, such as this one, because of what is going on in my time today. For example, with ‘Black Lives Matter’, some think that we don't matter because of our color and that we are the bottom and have always been and forever will be. This is simply not true. I wrote this book to remind one another that WE MATTER! WE HAVE A PURPOSE! and that once you know who you are as a person then you will respect all those who you come in contact with.
