Who We Are

Melanated Masterminds believes an African-centered education is the key to unlocking the Black brain, leading to the success and liberation of Black children and communities. We believe the two most important aspects of education for Black children are what we teach and how we teach it. Melanated Masterminds creates the conditions that enable Black children to experience an empowering, culturally relevant, and Africa-centered education within K-12 schools and through community-based organizations.

Vision

Our communities will access content that honors humanity and centers African history, culture, and values. By tapping into the divine genius of our ancestors, the community will be empowered to become agents of change and leaders for this generation and those to come.
