Teach X

We keep building. We keep moving. We keep pushing forward so that the next generation understands their assignment.

The assignment is to refuse anything less than their absolute best. That’s why we show up for them everyday so that they can make their own Black History Moment and build what they want to see for the world.

If your child is always drawing, remixing songs, taking things apart, or asking why—that’s not a distraction. That’s curiosity in action.

At TeachX, we help kids turn interests into skills and confidence—without pressure or grades. Just exploration, mentorship, and encouragement.

Winter break is almost here…what do you have planned for the kiddos?

Between school, screens, and constant changes, many kids are craving spaces where they can create, explore, and feel seen. At TeachX, we hear parents say they want more than “busy work”—they want opportunities that build confidence, curiosity, and real skills.

This week, we’re sharing resources, inspiration, and community updates to support families raising the next generation of creators. 💡Check out these cool winter break camps in Atlanta. They are all parent approved and fill up fast.

Happy New Year!! We back and have a lot of new updates to share. Stay tuned!!

We know our creatives are always working hard and making beautiful things look like magic…but today we hope you find space to just rest.

While others see your creative work as magical, we know it took hard work, it took effort and it took your genius to make the magic look so dag on good. This is a holiday made for you. Go ahead and rest and make more magic happen tomorrow.

Hey December! We back!

Calling all business owners!!! We are hosting our first Summer internship for rising High School Juniors and Seniors in metro Atlanta. Come to our meet and greet this Thursday to learn more about how our amazing scholars can boost business for you and your team in the new year.

Light refreshments will be provided so come thru and learn more.

Thank you Biden for showing us all how to "pass the torch" with grace last night.

Over the past 4 days, Biden has masterly lifted generations of hurdles, road blocks and barriers to pave a better path for future generations of Black and Brown folks to see themselves in spaces of power. For this Black mama, teacher and woman, I salute him and anyone in seats of power and authority that knows when and how to yield power with and for the next generation of leaders. I know this is probably not how he wanted it to end, but nonetheless his grace and humility to do so anyway was a chef's kiss for so many that come after him.

No matter who the nominee will be next month, the facts are that he used his privilege, influence and power to elevate a Black and South Asian woman, Kamala Harris, from an HBCU called Howard University, who is a member of a historically Black (not colored) Sorority called Alpha Kappa Alpha, Incorporated, to be his VP and his successor for the President of the United States, with all the resources, human capital and tools at her disposal. This is a master class in how mentors and true allies can set you up and position you for a win.

So as I prepare not only to organize to elect a highly qualified, respected and amazing leader and soror, I also am preparing to go back into schools this Fall. But this year, I need some Biden-like mentors on my side. Our kids need skill-based mentorship to elevate their work and skills to the next level. They need business mentors, artist mentors, professional mentors, skill-based mentors across a number of careers to help them navigate the future of work that teachers can't. I know as a teacher myself, I certainly needed help in this area as I prepared for every graduation with my students and they stared back at me with looks of confusion and anxiety.

But the good news is that in Atlanta alone, serving over 15000 high school students in career pathways, over 75% of students completing a pathway earned an industry credential. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gn6jAA3M
But without mentorship and allies, our students struggle to know what to do next after they get the piece of paper. Just like Kamala is qualified with all the papers and education, she still needed a mentor and an ally to position her to excel at the highest office in the land.

We need folks like you to share your skills and talents with our students as skills-based mentors because education and papers are not enough. Comment in the chat or message me if you want to get more information on how. But this is a historic moment, for VP Harris, but more importantly for all of us to lean in and look forward to helping the next generation lead. Reach out so we can do this together.

Self-care is crucial for productivity! When you take care of yourself, you ultimately save time and can do more of the things you love with the people you love. Rest is just as important as productivity, so make sure to prioritize it during the holiday season. Take a break, relax, and recharge before the new year 💤 You deserve it 💛
