It's all about changing the narrative of black history, building leaders through the story of my ancestors.

这一切都是为了改变黑人历史的叙事，通过讲述我祖先的故事来培养领导者。

We produce educational toys where children can learn black history in a very fun and creative way.

我们生产教育玩具，让孩子们能够以一种非常有趣和富有创意的方式学习黑人历史。

The focus really is to kind of see black history through a different lens instead of focusing on oppression and slavery.

重点实际上是通过不同的视角来看待黑人历史，而不是聚焦于压迫和奴隶制。

I don't want that to be their first thought anymore. I want the first thought when people think of black history is to be resiliency and leadership.

我不想让这再成为他们的第一印象。我希望当人们想到黑人历史时，第一印象是坚韧与领导力。

Bevy & Dave, I named Bevy after my daughter, Beverly, and I named Dave after my brother, David. The first toy I created is the History Makers Puzzle Block Set.

Bevy & Dave这个游戏品牌名源于我的女儿Beverly和哥哥David。我发明的第一款游戏是《方块拼图学历史》。

It was launched in 2016. We're going to put the alphabet together and not repeat the same letters. It starts for age 3, plus.

它于2016年推出。我们要把字母组合起来，且不重复使用相同的字母。它适合3岁及以上的孩子。

And so, with that one, I didn't want to continue the story of "a" is for apple. On this History Makers Puzzle Block Set, it's "a" for appreciation.

在这个游戏里，我不想延续a代表苹果的故事。在《方块拼图学历史》中，"a"代表感激。

Appreciation, that's right. And then when you turn the block, they'll learn that it means to be thankful.
