About


We're all familiar with the metaphor " Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," and as we grow we learn just how untrue that really is.

Brilliant & Resilient was founded by Tugga who seeks to inspire others with powerful affirmations -- because what you say matters and often correlates to what you do. Tugga is a fun, loving, outgoing, and energetic nine year old brown boy who is comfortable in his own skin. It's no secret that we live in a world that will beat you up if you let it, especially our black and brown boys. Tugga awakes every day reciting affirmations so that he can use the power of his words to uplift and encourage not only himself but others as well. Tugga's personality is out of this world - with this signature line he aims to inspire and impact other children.
