More than a Princess

"Princess Kiana was lying in bed. 'Life in the castle is boring!' she said. 'I've got many things, but I need something more. There's so much out there I have yet to explore."

Follow Kiana's magical journey as she'll explore all the things a girl can achieve. Guided by her fairy godmother, Kiana will discover that life is more than pretty things and fancy castles.

Delanda and Terrence Coleman are the authors of this charming tale, aiming to show girls around the world all they can achieve in the areas of science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).

Delanda Coleman has spent over a decade as a leader in Product Marketing for some of the world's largest and most innovative software companies. Having seen the fast-paced and evolving nature of technology, she was surprised by the lack of urgency or innovation in recruiting and developing women of color in the software industry. Inspired by the birth of her daughter, she and her husband, Terrence, decided to create Sydney and Coleman Publishing to expose young black girls and boys to concepts and careers in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math). A native and resident of Boston, MA, Delanda holds an MBA from New York University and a Bachelors' from Northeastern University. She is an avid reader and world traveler. You can follow her on Instagram and Twitter @MsDelanda or learn more about her at DelandaColeman.com

Terrence Coleman is a legal professional in the healthcare industry with a JD from Seattle University School of Law and a Bachelor degree from Rutgers University. Much like his wife, Delanda, Terrence believes that there is a need to inspire children of color to pursue higher-level education. Sydney and Coleman Publishing focuses on promoting and advancing this need. Terrence was raised in Willingboro, New Jersey and enjoys reading, writing, and physical fitness.
