Prince of Bel Air). As a new mom, Parsons was motivated by a strong
desire to instill a sense of culture and heritage to her daughter. Inspired
by her own mother and upbringing, Parsons created Sweet Blackberry—
delivering to all children, stories that need to be told and heard.

We launched to critical acclaim in February 2005 with our first DVD
release, “The Journey of Henry ‘Box’ Brown.” Narrated by Emmy award-
winning actress, Alfre Woodard, “The Journey of Henry ‘Box’ Brown”
brings to life for young children an extremely important chapter in
American History, telling an extraordinary tale of human courage about
a man who shipped himself, in a box, from Virginia to Philadelphia to
freedom.

a creative-minded child who was finally able to focus his talents and
energies and become one of the country’s most highly regarded inventors.
