EP 640 | Still We Rise, Still We Lead: Tiffany Obeng

In this episode, we are joined by Tiffany Obeng, attorney, literacy advocate, social impact author, and founder of Sugar Cookie Books. Tiffany shares how her experience navigating legal systems and serving as an Equal Opportunity Director shaped her commitment to fairness, access, and belonging. When she realized she had not met a real-life lawyer until the eleventh grade, she understood how limited exposure can shape possibility. That realization led her to create children’s books that introduce young readers, especially Black children, to careers and everyday joy in spaces where they have historically been absent. This conversation explores representation, early access, and how storytelling can expand what children believe is possible for their futures.

Still We Rise, Still We Lead is a Black History Month radio series highlighting Black leaders, creatives, and changemakers whose work spans justice, community development, mental health, and service.
