I'm A King!

VISION: We believe in a world where all Black boys and men are seen as and see themselves as brilliant, beautiful, and possessing innate greatness as Kings. We believe in a world where society’s systems, structures, conditions and culture enable all of us to reach our full potential.

MISSION: We reimagine systems of education, culture, and wellness while driving narrative change that celebrates Black people and culture and improving educational and life outcomes for Black boys from Pre-K to PhD.
