When Artesia Kaboré posted a question in an online group for Black parents in Colorado, it caught the eye of Chandra Thomas Whitfield. Kaboré asked where she could find a Black Santa this holiday season. It's a question that Chandra wondered about ever since moving to Colorado 12 years ago. So she set out to find the answer, and along the way, was reminded why representation matters.
