A-Z of colourism is a picture guide about colourism created by the students of The Green Acres Academy, Chembur. This book is an honest effort by the students to help people deeply understand the issue and the factors that exxagerate dark skin stigma in society. The authors and illustrators of this book used the theory from their classes to ideate a list of concepts, describe them in simple words, and illustrate it to explain to people what colourism is and what we should do about it.
Aayushi, Navya, Aarnav, Vihaan, Shaurya, Avisi, Kriday, Ameya, Jiya, Zeel and Yashika are an enthusuastic group of grade 4 and 5 students who decided to commit an hour every week (over and above all their other school work) to study this issue and create the book: A-Z of colourism. They worked hard to take all of the vocabulary they built through the course and translate it into a simple primer for anyone who wants to understand the issue of colourism.

To pull of a project of this nature took a lot of hardwork and push from some fabulous teachers and well-wishers that we would like to thank. TheA-Z of colourism team would like to thank Mr. Parth Thakkar , Mr. Rahul Gaikwad and Ms. Riddhi Avlani for all their guidance and support. We would not have managed to do this without their help!
