A Bit About Me
ABEN was created for the advancement of Black children, focusing on our great histories, traditions, and language. I am passionate about the work I do with ABEN because my career in science education also centers on the social, emotional, and educational excellence of Black children.
​
Not only were my grandparents my first science teachers, they also taught me to draw and paint.
