Bellen Woodard
Bellen Woodard is a crayon activist. She created her own multicultural crayons through her ‘More than Peach project’ after realizing there was no crayon that truly represented her skin shade.
Earlier this month, she was named Time Magazine’s Kid of the Year honoree, making her one of the youngest to make it to the top five out of over 5000 candidates.
The efforts of the 10-year-old to bridge the diversity gap has not gone unnoticed. The Virginia General Assembly, Virginia’s legislative body, passed the “Bellen Bill” to honor her works with her non-profit.
