We’re Phoenix + Aspen: here to celebrate and inspire children to immerse themselves in art, cultural, and educational experiences.
We dispel myths and stereotypes around Black children’s capabilities.
We battle the erasure of the existence of Black Homeschoolers and Affrilachian Kids (African-American kids living, playing, and dreaming in Southern Appalachia).
We break down cultural barriers through an ongoing exchange of storytelling, tradition, and artistic expression.
We are creating a cultural show and tell: for kids, by kids, and open to all.
