We Strive to...
We strive to create spaces for
Black students where they can
openly and
safely express themselves in an effort to
share commonalities and
embrace the things that make us different.
We Provide...
We provide a space where ALL Black students are welcome, in all shades and textures. In this space, we embrace that Black people are NOT monoliths; we represent all types of backgrounds and interests that deserve to be seen and heard.
We Invite...

invite those who care for our communities to
spread the word so that every Black student has an opportunity to
explore their roots and
celebrate Black life, at all its intersections.
African American Scholars Project
African American Scholars Project (AASP) is our program that aims directly at the education system; It addresses the direct need within the system by providing the supportive services needed to begin closing the gaps in educational spaces; Our goal is to have the African American students marginalized in these spaces do more than survive; but thrive!
We partner with our sister enterprise MEB Consulting Group to guide the school districts faculty and staff along the deep personal work that’s required to shift practices and provide professional development, curriculum, and resources.
With the help of our partnering school districts we’ve been able to recruit
over 600 AASP scholars! Our Scholars represent the spectrum of African diaspora with students from the US, Nigeria, Kenya, Jamaica and more!
