Recapturing The Narrative - Premiere Issue
What is Melanated Miracles?
Melanated Miracles Magazine is a monthly publication committed to highlighting contributions made to humanity made by some of the less publicized figures in black history. By pushing forward a false narrative that chattel slavery was an introduction into black history, the world is being de-prived of one of the most fascinating, often untold stories in human history.
The first documented doctors, engineers, architects, scientists, authors, astrologists, and philosophers were all people of color and descendants of melanated civilizations. It is our collective hope, that by bringing some of these figures to light, we can help create a new narrative within communities of color by providing a reference base of greatness many are unaware even exist.
