When asked what inspired her to create a coloring book for black women Latoya Nicole replied, "Women can be so self-sufficient and self-sacrificing that sometimes we can forget the importance of self-care.

Coloring allows us to switch our brains off from other thoughts and focus and concentrate only on the moment which can help decrease stress."
