Designing innovative and sustainable systems that empower black and brown students to achieve excellence by improving academic, social, and economic outcomes.
"Without new visions we don’t know what to build, only what to knock down."
Robin D.G. Kelley
The right to a quality education is a natural right in which all children deserve; the freedom to be held to high expectations while feeling understood, heard, and loved is what our Black and Brown students need. Freedom Dreams envisions a new liberatarian education system where marginalized youth are empowered to disrupt the same systems that have failed them.
