“From 1 to 5, I’d give the students’ excitement level a 10!”
"I’ve been in the African-centered community for probably 30-40 years and I don’t give praise out like that, but I can’t say enough about this class. From 1 to 5, I’d give the students' excitement level a 10! Parents are calling me going, 'Man, they really love this! What are y’all doing?' The kids absolutely love it—even the high schoolers look forward to coming. They want to know who they are, and when they enjoy it this much, you have no pushback. The way the information is presented, everything just fits. As a Black community, we absolutely need this type of information out there."

“When you have kids using the word ‘superpower,’ you know you’ve found something special.”
"Once we started, you could see the light bulb come on. One of my 8th graders wrote in his reflection: 'Learning the true history of where we came from, I realized that being Black is my superpower.' What has really changed for me as a teacher is seeing them come out of their shells. This program is getting them to think, and their writing has completely shifted. It’s not just a course where you’re reading; it’s reinforcing ELA skills and giving them hands-on projects they actually care about. When you have kids using the word 'superpower,' you know you’ve found something special."
