Ep 41: Empowering Black Children Through Cultural Education Based in Literacy

Send us a text

In this episode, Dr. Almitra Berry interviews Louie T. McClain II, founder of Melanin Origins, a global publishing company that specializes in children’s books about lesser-known African American pioneers. McClain shares his insights on the importance of cultural education and the need for a coalition of Black individuals to come together to create cultural centers for Black children to learn about their history, faith, and ancestral values. He emphasizes that Black history should be woven into the curriculum year-round and not just celebrated during a single month. McClain and Dr. Berry discuss the representation of Black individuals in the media, and how there is still a lack of movies or shows that properly represent Black people. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding and appreciating diverse perspectives, and both speakers call on listeners to connect with them and create cultural awareness programs in their communities.
