CODES OF POWER

Every week your child learns one Code of Power and meets a figure from the Hall of Power: 52 Black builders, scientists, artists and leaders, from Imhotep and Mansa Musa to Katherine Johnson, Chadwick Boseman, Alicia Keys and Marsai Martin. Every week brings three prompts to think about, talk about and do together. No worksheets. No writing in the book. It is made to be kept.

Two editions, chosen by their birthday

    • Juniors (ages 9–12): warmer words, illustrated pages, a reading list for young readers.
    • Teens (ages 13–18): the full Codes, including money, ownership and power, with a YA and classics reading list.

Choose their cover

Ten heirloom colors, each framed in gold, with their name set wide like art. For every age: Rose Quartz · Sapphire Night · Ember. Juniors (9–12): Ivory Silk · Saffron · Peacock. Teens (13–18): Ivy · Aubergine · Scarlet · Black Velvet.

What's inside


Frequency of Power 

Built from their name, their birthday and the gifts you’ve watched them grow into, this is the page that tells your child exactly who they are and what they were made to do. It ends with their Declaration of Power, words they say out loud until they believe them.

52 weekly Codes
52 Power Stories

One Code a week for a full year, each taught through a Hall of Power story. Imhotep. Harriet Tubman. Mae Jemison. Colin Kaepernick. Your child learns vision, discipline and courage from the people who lived it. Then they talk about it, ask about it and go do it.

 Prep School Shelf

The books elite boarding schools assign, from The Prince to Things Fall Apart, alongside the Bible, The Alchemist and the Black classics every child deserves. Each title comes with a line on what it will teach them. Your teen walks into any room having read what that room has read.

 Mission
Plan

Their gifts and their interests, turned into a plan they can act on this year, not someday. They’ll know what they’re building, who they want in their corner and the next step to take. A child with a mission doesn’t wait to be told who to be.

LOVE LETTER

A Love Letter, Bound Into Their Book
On the first page they turn, they’ll find your words, printed with their name in a page made to keep. Write it yourself, or invite a grandparent, godparent, or anyone who loves them. Years from now, this is the page they’ll come back to.

Catrina

Founder, Star Youniversity · Creator, The Codes of Power
I spent 33 years in public service designing and leading award-winning, large-scale institutions at the intentional intersection of justice, education and art. In NYC government, I designed and led the Neighborhood Opportunity Network (NeON), backed by more than $54 million and 300 partners, including a decade-long alliance with Carnegie Hall. Our Credible Messengers and round-the-clock mentoring helped cut one-year felony reconvictions by more than two-thirds. I went on to direct a national mentoring movement across five cities and to lead the Harlem Arts Alliance, whose members include some of the world’s most prestigious cultural institutions.

I have always believed education is a freedom tool. I earned my Bachelor’s in Social Work and my Master’s in Public Administration, and since high school I knew my journey would lead to the answer I set out to find: the answer to free us. The Codes of Power is that answer. What the most privileged children are taught on purpose is now in the hands of every child.

It is my gift from one mother to all the mothers who stand behind every story about our children, the beautiful ones and the hard ones.

My goal is to light a global constellation of stars.

This is my Love Letter.
