CLEVELAND, OH – Long before her childhood home stood in Cleveland, the space was once home to a modest apartment building where legendary comic book artist Joe Shuster, co-creator of Superman, once lived—and where the idea of the world’s first superhero was born. Today, that very location continues to foster heroism through the heart and creativity of Barbara Lucas, a youth advocate and author who has channeled that legacy into her own universe of hope, resilience, and representation.
Growing up in an urban neighborhood, Mrs. Lucas rarely saw superheroes who looked like her or reflected the realities of her community. Determined to change that narrative, she created The Beauties Bullying Adventure, a children’s book series inspired by her personal journey and the same soil that once birthed Superman.
“Joe Shuster’s legacy lit something inside of me,” says Mrs. Lucas “If greatness could be born in my very neighborhood, then maybe these kids just need someone to remind them that they’re powerful too.”
Barbara Lucas’s core mission is to advocate against bullying and youth violence. Having personally endured the emotional scars of bullying and low self-esteem during childhood; she now uses her voice and creativity to inspire the next generation. Her work instills self-belief, mental strength, and purpose in young readers, especially those who have been marginalized or silenced.
In Spring 2023, Mrs. Lucas proudly released three transformative titles:
• The Beauties Bullying Adventure
• The Beauties Self-Esteem Workbook
• The Beauties Bullying Adventure Coloring Book
The flagship book, The Beauties Bullying Adventure, received a 5-Star Seal of Excellence from Reader’s Favorite and follows the uplifting journey of three triplet sisters—named Hope, Faith, and Love—who are gifted with teleportation and superpowers. Led by a heart-shaped guide named Serenity, The Beauties travel across the globe on missions to stop mental bullying and inspire positive change.
Mrs. Lucas’s vibrant storytelling blends imagination and intention, empowering children to rise above negativity and recognize their inner strength.
“In a world that often tells our youth what they can’t be,” Mrs. Lucas says, “I want to be a reminder that they are already everything they need to be.”
