Students need learning experiences and materials that center their HUMANITY, JOY, IMAGINATION and GROWTH; and so do their teachers!

Our sessions are reflective learning experiences that encourage educators to build on what they are already doing well in order to make shifts in practices to ensure the identities of students of color are honored and affirmed in school.

All sessions are customized to meet the needs of the school or organization.
