African American Child Directory

A website called www.AfricanAmericanChild.com is growing and the goal is to help showcase black children the way that black children will respond by incorporating videos, hip hop, fashion, music, and video games. 

Launched in 2005, AfricanAmericanchild.com receives 11,000 unique visitors each month with its peak months falling between October through March which boasts an average of 32,000 unique visitors.  Additionally, this children’s portal recieves on average 78,000 pageviews. 

Chastity Laboy, Marketing Director, commented:  “Type in major keywords such as ‘black boy,’ ‘black teen,’ ‘black girl,’ you will find that these sites showcase pornography.  When black children type in their name, this is what they see.  But AfricanAmericanChild.com hopes to change this by providing a portal in which people can see positive images of black youth.”

If you have a video on YouTube or Google, you may embed the video into AfricanAmericanChild.com.

Also, the site has just added a link directory in which they plan to highlight websites that will benefit African American children, their parents and educators.

They are building the directory slowly and their first goal is to list black children writer’s, their books and their websites.  A featured listing for only five lucky authors is only $19.95 for a one year top link.  A regular link listing is $4.95 or if you have a website, you can get a free listing provided that you add a text link to AfricanAmericanChild.com on your website.

“African American children writer’s have not traditionally had the opportunity to market their books in popular bookstores.  But with AfricanAmericanChild.com, we are providing a niche audience of black children and their parents.  Authors will definitely benefit from the exposure on our website particularly during Black History month, Juneteenth, and Kwanzaa.”
