We 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!
