Black girls don't just get to be in the fantasy around here. We get the whole world.
Welcome to YondaRealms—dakari Moon's ever-growing Black Girl Imaginarium, where color is magic, trees can take you places, gnomes stay in everybody's business, feelings have entire neighborhoods and there is always another story waiting on the other side of a portal.
What started with Yonda has grown into a whole world of lands, characters, creatures, families and adventures built from one very simple idea:
Black imagination deserves somewhere BIG to play.
It All Starts With Veiluna
Before YondaRealms had governors, portal routes and enough magical shenanigans to keep everybody busy, there was Veiluna, the Color Goddess.
Color magic begins with her.
Veiluna entrusted that magic to King disya and Queen disya, and it lives on through their 24 daughters—the disya Cute Girls.
So when we say each girl represents a color, we aren't talking about a cute palette assignment.
Color is their inheritance.
Moon carries mystery and intuition. Paprika comes through with energy and joy. Jade brings healing and balance. Chartreuse carries optimism and freshness. Every sister has her own color magic, personality and particular way of showing up in the world.
You can explore the meaning behind their colors in our Color Wheel of Belonging .
Meet the disya Cute Girls
King and Queen disya have 24 daughters.
Yes. Twenty-four.
Pray for the royal grocery bill.
Among them are the quadruplets Moon, Paprika, Jade and Chartreuse, alongside sisters like Fawn, Bloom, Dream, Ruby, Comet, Juniper, Aura, Obsidian and the rest of the colorful crew.
They have adventures. They get into things. They solve problems. They disagree. They help. They learn.
And being princesses apparently wasn't enough responsibility.
The girls are also governors of YondaRealms.
Wait. Governors?
Yep.
The lands of YondaRealms are connected through magical tree portals, with the Treehouse of Belonging serving as the central portal hub.
The portal trees are tuned to the color magic of the disya Cute Girls, and one or two sisters care for and govern many of the lands across YondaRealms.
Amber and Paprika govern AftaWhile. Bloom and Clover watch over DeyYa. Garnet and Obsidian have BooTown. Juniper and Lotus govern ComeYa. Ruby and Mellow have MekDo.
Even the Treehouse of Belonging has portal governors: Ivory and Georgia.
Which means the girls aren't popping into these stories because somebody needed a main character.
They belong to this world. They have responsibilities in it. They know its people. And when something gets wonderfully, spectacularly out of hand somewhere in YondaRealms, somebody can come through that portal.
So...Where Can You Go?
Oh, all over the place.
Wander into AftaWhile and meet the flavor-filled Gumdrop Girls.
Head down to UndaDey, where the gnomes have their own brand of magic—and their own brand of nonsense.
Take a trip to BooTown, where spooky has never meant boring.
Visit ComeYa and discover unicorn magic, or head toward DeyYa to see what the Blooms have growing.
There is MekDo for sport and play, FoTruut for the wonderfully patterned world of the WoMandalas, Moods Ova Yonda for the She-Mojis, UpYa among the clouds and plenty more.
There are Mermaids. Dragons. Fairies. Genies. Trees. Dragonflies. Butterflies. Cloudie Pies. Bae, our pegasus and creatures we probably haven't even properly introduced you to yet.
And beneath it all runs the Dream Current, connecting another layer of YondaRealms to the Dreamtails and what happens while everybody else is sleeping.
In other words: you're going to need a passport.
One World. A Whole Lot of Stories.
That's the big change.
YondaRealms isn't a collection of random magical characters who happen to share shelf space.
It's a world.
The lands connect. Characters travel between them. The disya Cute Girls govern them. Portal trees create pathways between them. Color magic runs through them. Stories that begin in one place can spill directly into another.
A Gumdrop Girl can end up in BooTown.
A disya Cute Girl can step through a tree and land in the middle of somebody else's problem.
Bae can take a path across multiple lands.
And somewhere underneath everybody, the Dream Current keeps moving.
That is what makes wandering YondaRealms fun: you never quite know who you're going to run into next.
Why We Built It This Way
Because representation is wonderful.
But we wanted more than a Black girl dropped into somebody else's idea of magic.
We wanted worlds built with her already inside the blueprint.
In YondaRealms, Black girls get to be princesses and governors. Inventors and adventurers. Mermaids and fairies. Athletes and weirdos. Soft girls, loud girls, curious girls, magical girls and girls who are still figuring themselves out.
Nobody has to explain why we're here.
We live here.
The Coloring Book Is Just the Door
You may discover YondaRealms through a coloring book, but that's only one way in.
The world keeps growing through stories, activities, soundscapes, games, character cards, downloads, portal passports and everything else we're dreaming up as we go.
Color the characters. Learn the lands. Follow the stories. Pick favorites. Choose where you'd live. Decide which portal you'd absolutely sneak through even after somebody specifically told you not to.
That's the fun of an Imaginarium.
You're not just looking at our imagination.
You're invited to use yours.
Welcome to YondaRealms.
Now...where in Yonda are you going first?
