Inspiring Minds NYC founder Katrena Perou told us, she was grateful the attention got stuff moving for her organization, but she'd like to see bigger change from NYC. "I hope they will address the actual system to prevent this from happening again in the future," she said.

We will be celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth with our NYC Community Schools partner BK Leadership HS, featuring performances from our youth and local artists from our community. Be there or hear about it!

We are wrapping up #BlackHistoryMonth strong with a double header that will bring the community into our NYC Community Schools! Our students will be performing alongside local artists today at BK Leadership HS and tomorrow at BK Collaborative HS! Stop by if you can!


As we are wrapping up #BlackHistoryMonth , we are highlighting students who are making history everyday in our communities! Kylie Richardson is a School for Classics High School alum & current student at sharon brown! She is leading political literacy workshops for teens! #IMhistoryinthemaking

#IMhistoryinthemaking highlights Michael Muir who was a dynamic NYCMBK- NYC My Brother's Keeper Initiative leader and now a student at Baruch College! Michael leads MBK Mentors, a literacy based mentoring program that hires Brooklyn North High Schools MBK members to mentor and read with 3rd-5th graders at PS298! Dr. Anael Alston

Ciara is a part of our YWEP under NYCDOE Office of Safety & Youth Development and she blew us all away at our BHM showcase at BK Leadership HS! We knew she could hoop when she dropped buckets on us but we never knew she could dance! Watch out for this rising star! #IMhistoryinthemaking


We feel rejuvenated! This week, 10 women from our community put together their super powers to make yesterdayβs wellness event an unforgettable experience for 175 girls yesterday Weeksville for #WomenHistoryMonth!
