MEET THE
AUTHORS.

Briana McLean and Desmond Owusu are the co-creators of Too Fly Not to Fly. Briana and Desmond met while teaching in Chicago Public Schools on the south side of the city. Their friendship and artistic collaboration blossomed from there. Briana and Desmond believe there is power in reflective representation. Through the creation of Too Fly Not to Fly, Desmond and Briana seek to provide an outlet for young children to begin deconstructing oppressive systems and structures.
