About

Hendrix+Lenox is a lifestyle brand inspired by the sons of founder, Lola Keyes Wood. Hendrix+Lenox creates opportunities for children to see images of black children, families and characters.

She wrote Adventures of Hendrix & Lenox: Safer at Home because, as mother to Hendrix and Lenox, she had been talking about the implications of coronavirus with her children. She couldn’t have imagined that she would have to talk to them about racism, police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement in quarantine but she wanted to address the climate. With this in mind, she decided to design a teaching tool for families to have difficult conversations.

Adventures with Hendrix & Lenox: Christmas in Quarantine is the second book in the series. Hendrix and Lenox are back to share how they plan to celebrate the holiday season this year. We continue to be safer at home so this year looks different from years past Hendrix and Lenox make the best of it. Stay tuned for more from this series.

To accompany Christmas in Quarantine, Wood brought back Hendrix+Lenox children’s pajamas with Christmas characters this year. She created them in response to the challenge of finding pajamas featuring Santa and other Christmas characters with brown and black faces. And more than ever, she wants to provide more and more places for black children to see themselves.
