The Black Minds Leadership Program seeks to create a community that nurtures the Black male identity and a community of learners who support one another in their growth. The program is facilitated both during school hours meeting with young leaders to proactively support them while actively engaged in their learning and after school hours to develop community and cultivate skills.

Culturally Responsive Education Professional Development Series
I believe we need this gem of an organization to take over professional development programming around Restorative Practices, Trauma Informed Practices, SEL, CRE, Mental Health (Central Office, School Leadership, Staff, Families, and students), etc. throughout the state and outside of MI.

Testimonials
Thanks so much for your work! Distance learning has made it tough to connect with students and staff. These sessions are very thought provoking and a way to be vulnerable with others. It allows staff to connect and take some of the concepts to our classrooms. This work reinvigorates me in my distance classroom to continue to push through the numerous challenges and focus on what truly matters: connecting with my students and creating a space they feel welcomed and comfortable to take risks. I look forward to them each month! Thanks for your hard work to ask intentional questions and provide us with thoughtful resources that impact my teaching in a positive way!

Culturally Responsive Education Professional Development Series
It allowed me to do more individual group work, and not so much whole class teaching. It felt more like a facilitator for them , instead of providing the information, then have them do something with the information. I enjoyed the different role, outside my comfort zone.

The Fight for Environmental Justice in Detroit: PBL + Critical Consciousness
What I enjoyed most about this experience was the relevance and authenticity of the project. Getting to explore something in Detroit that impacts so many of our students and their families was great. Getting to hear from experts was fantastic as well. Finally, I know the majority of the students had some big takeaways from the project which hopefully results in some critical consciousness as they continue to learn and understand their own community.
