Parallel Cultures

Hi Everyone! Tis the season! Normally Parallel Cultures team would be busy planning our 3rd Annual ! But as you can see, thanks to US Dept of Education’s Fulbright Scholar for GSU educators program, I’m busy in Brazil! This is in part for my efforts toward curriculum development for GSU students AND our K-6 kiddos! Which means This year Parallel Cultures is planning for even bigger activities through school year!! Your contributions will ensure that each of our kids receive special gifts from Bahia, Brazil; the heart of the African Diaspora AND that we continue efforts during fall semester!

Hey all! Tis the season for giving AND my bday! Last summer, with YOUR help and contributions, my nonprofit Parallel Cultures launched our first Culture, Leadership and Knowledge for the kids of Morven. Morven kids were able to learn abt African/Diaspora history and culture from Harvard fellows AND gain exposure to everything from developing Apps w/ researchers/designers from Apple and Google to tasting African/Caribbean foods to making beats w/renowned HipHop scholar, Wendel Patrick! This upcoming summer, we want to take the kids on a NC College/Knowledge tour! Help us get an early start in reaching our 5K goal!! This will be what we need to continue to Illuminate. Enrich. Inspire. Click below to contribute! Please Share and Follow us!:
