RELEASE: MARCH 7, 2023

Bellen joins The Female Quotient
"Hmm, challenges I’ve faced as a business owner? Well, I’m 11 so there’s that. But I think the biggest challenge is that assumption you can’t be an industry leader—even when you already are. So it’s up to you to trust yourself and what you deliver because if YOU understand your value, you learn not to accept anything less.”❤️-Bellen

MORE THAN PEACH® CRAYONS —ATHENTICALLY & UNIQUELY DESIGNED BY BELLEN - "RESONATING & REPRESENTING LIKE NO OTHER"
More than Peach was born in spring 2019 out of the pressing need to grow access, representation, and perspectives. Whose idea was this and how did the crayons get their names? Meet bright-light Bellen Woodard, Mensan, ballet dancer, professional model, and now 11 year old kid!
Once upon a time and for many years, a single crayon was named and called “flesh" and more recently "the skin-color" crayon. That was until then 8-year old Bellen managed to change the language with an
empathetic response with each child in mind! She developed both an innovative new product AND a solution to increase representation and access and has now gone on to transform an entire industry as CEO of More than Peach! But there's still much work to do.
Bellen created More than Peach—a revolutionizing & innovative art brand of "many beautiful colors" to celebrate kid brilliance and to “really, actually” grow spaces. Using her own naming conventions and warm tones, the More than Peach packs provide both traditional and "skin-tone" colors designed to foster creativity and conversations.
Engineered & inspired by a child’s compassion and wisdom, see how the More than Peach crayons and brand embody authenticity and inspire like no other.
NOW ALSO AVAILABLE AT TARGET!
More than Peach® is making an inspiringly positive impact in classrooms everywhere. A kind pioneer (and inspiration to many), Bellen single-handedly
pioneered this never-before-seen mission and values most that kids hold a More than Peach art product and instantly know the power of "KIDHOOD!" Created
for all kids...by a kid to change the world…one crayon at time!
Continued thanks to so many of you for being the change and continuing to help amplify authentic voices! (Please note that the young visionary is not a partner to the "big brand" though her influence--sadly, without credit-- is unmistakable.)
