Colour Me Melanin is a poetry and colouring book featuring 27 women from 27 African tribes in their traditional attire. There is also a short synopsis for each tribe explaining the region/s the tribe is located in, their history as well as some interesting facts about the tribe. It was created by Katlego Kekana - born out of a love for meditation through colouring, children, and the arts - in particular - African poetry. The book features poems by Mfumo and Fumane Ntlhabane, Belita Andre and Katleho Kano Shoro, was edited by Vus'umuzi Phakathi and the designs were created by Kholisile Zwane. The message it conveys is one of unity – an appreciation that, despite our varying backgrounds and cultures – we are all one. A message also of pride: Pride in our femininity. Pride in our heritage. Pride in our stories and history which have carved who we are today.

Living Color is the first book to investigate the social history of skin color from prehistory to the present, showing how our body’s most visible trait influences our social interactions in profound and complex ways. In a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion, Nina G. Jablonski begins with the biology and evolution of skin pigmentation, explaining how skin color changed as humans moved around the globe. She explores the relationship between melanin pigment and sunlight, and examines the consequences of rapid migrations, vacations, and other lifestyle choices that can create mismatches between our skin color and our environment. Richly illustrated, this book explains why skin color has come to be a biological trait with great social meaning— a product of evolution perceived by culture. It considers how we form impressions of others, how we create and use stereotypes, how negative stereotypes about dark skin developed and have played out through history—including being a basis for the transatlantic slave trade. Offering examples of how attitudes about skin color differ in the U.S., Brazil, India, and South Africa, Jablonski suggests that a knowledge of the evolution and social importance of skin color can help eliminate color-based discrimination and racism.
