These 2021 Planners Feature Cover Art By Talented Black Female Artists

If there’s one thing I buy religiously every January, it’s a new daily planner. A planner make me feel like I have my whole life together—even if I really don’t. While last year was a bit of a wash when it came to making plans more than a few days in advance, this year I’m going all out, and I definitely plan on buying one from The Happy Planner’s brand-new Black Artist Covers Collection and donating my coin to a good cause in the process.

If getting organized is at the top of your list of resolutions and you absolutely hate using the calendar app on your phone, you need one of The Happy Planner’s super-aesthetic, functional-AF planners (I, for one, need to find one that is both cute and functional in order for me to use it regularly). This year, The Happy Planner has partnered up with three BIPOC female artists—Rochelle Porter, Brandy Brown and Jena Holliday—to create limited-edition covers in addition to their usual selection, just in time for Black History Month in February.

Each of the covers included in the Black Artist Covers Collection retails for $7.99 and all net profits from the collection will go to the NextGen Artist Program, an initiative from that provides a structured artistic curriculum to high school juniors and seniors of African descent. The program offers mentorship, opportunities for scholarships, workshops and more to young artists, partnering them with industry leaders across several artistic disciplines.

Oh, and the covers themselves? They’re SO cute.
