(BLACK PR WIRE) – Los Angeles, CA (April 2012) – In an industry dominated by majority-owned companies and influences, Images of Culture (IOC), a new stationery marketing company, launches today to deliver quality school supply products with uplifting, positive graphics and messages for African-American school-aged youth.

The company was created by 10-year marketing veteran and African-American entrepreneur Pamela A. Richardson out of a desire and passion to fill the void and provide Black youth with in-school materials that positively reflect them in an inspirational, hip and fun way. “We are committed to responsibly delivering products that encourage and promote individualism, creativity, self-esteem and self-confidence among young boys and girls,” said Richardson.

ABOUT IMAGES OF CULTURE

The introductory, one-of-a-kind educational product line is a series of spiral-bound notebooks that feature athletically-inspired graphics that are colorful, motivational and beneficial for children. Unlike other educational supply products that utilize cartoons and mascots, Images of Culture integrates realistic and identifiable images that inspire children of color to develop healthy personal and family identities.
