What people are saying.

 

“Mrs. Lee and Melanin Minds was an incredible asset and resource for my students and campus! No other program met the needs of my students this this way. Not all students look the same but unfortunately many programs do. Melanin Minds is intentional to address the realty that students of color face in a sensitive and compassionate way. Not only did they provide relevant information, but they also equipped students with lifechanging skills as they navigate life. I would love to have this program on any campus I work at and would hope that funds would not be a barrier to access it. The more students we can reach, the better we will all be!”

— Jessica, wraparound specialist
