Adiba Nelson

Adiba Nelson writes about inclusion and her life as a Black mother, woman, and daughter. She wrote her 2013 children’s book, Meet ClaraBelle Blue, after searching fruitlessly for a children’s book that adequately and appropriately represented her Afro-Latinx daughter with special needs. A highly acclaimed speaker, she delivered a TEDx talk on what to do when life throws you a curveball to a sold-out house in 2017. As the curveballs keep coming, Nelson continues to write.
