The Mighty Squad w/author Teresa Chase on MAP-TV
"I'm glad I didn't give up when folks said the odds were against me." Teresa Chase
A staunch believer in the saying, "See a need, fill a need," Teresa Chase lends her voice and creativity to ensuring that children of color are represented adequately.
As a direct reflection of her collective experiences and those who have poured into her, the Tennessee born, Laurinburg, NC raised visionary, uses a unique blend of education and empowerment to create relatable characters through her coloring and activity books for young children.
Loosely based on one of her nieces, a god-daughter and her three sons, two of which are neurodivergent, Teresa has created a space for children to discover unyielding possibilities rather than perceived limitations. With the release of her first activity book, The Mighty Squad: Careers A-Z in late 2019, Teresa ditched the traditional, gender-specific roles we often adopt to create a judgment-free environment that promotes self-worth, while championing intellect and celebrating beauty.
Since her first release, the Meredith College graduate has authored five additional titles: El Escuadrón Poderoso: Explorando Carreras, The Mighty Squad: Feelings A-Z, Ava's Math & Fun Book, Dad Time, and most recently The Mighty Squad Explores STEAM.
Teresa is quickly becoming a bold and impactful advocate for underrepresented children of color, as she simultaneously nurtures the well-being of her own family. When she isn't coming up with innovative new ways to conquer the world, the ambitious mom of three and her husband, Jermaine are capturing each of life's fleeting moments through photos, videos, books and lessons.
