What Is Seein' is Believin'?

Who We Are

Seein' is Believin' is -A Multicultural Infusion of Excellence into traditional K-12 STEAM curriculum.

Knowing that it is challenging to recruit and retain educators of color specifically Black educators, we aim to infuse culture through workshops.

The reality is most of our youth will go through their entire academic careers without having a single Black or multicultural educator. Our program's goal is to fill that gap while the crucial work of training and retaining educators of color continues. The pandemic has offered an opportunity to expand outside the traditional classroom experience. Youth can now learn first hand from professionals of color in the fields of arts, science, technology, mathematics, technology, and more through a virtual experience.

Engaging Presenters

We know that representation matters in helping youth see themselves in their future careers. Our presenters are trailblazers in their respective fields and are excited to share their expertise, experience, and passion to your youth.

Our presenters look forward to partnering with your teachers, tell their stories, present life changing workshops, and discuss how their cultural backgrounds influence their professions today. Our workshops also infuse life readiness skills because we recognize that some students may not be ready to go straight to college from high school. Our life readiness workshops include vocational prep, college prep, and personal leadership.

Wide Variety of Online Cultural Infusion Programming

Our infusions are focused in engaging and inspiring youth in ways that traditional curriculum does not always do. Samples of our work include:

Youth Voices Programming-Visual and Performing Arts
Improving math, science, and history classes through culturally based life readiness cooking classes
Infusing traditional music curriculum with multicultural composers, singers, and dancers
