welcome to the Learning Lab Hub

Dive in, reflect, and join the conversation.

The Learning Lab is where we dig into the small (but mighty) moments of childhood—where curiosity, language, joy, and connection unfold in real time. Here, we explore how children make sense of their world, how we as grown-ups respond, and what it means to create spaces that truly affirm Black childhood.

Each edition offers a reflection, a story, or a playful reframe—because learning isn’t just for kids. It’s for all of us.

Celebrating black joy, today and everyday

Black Joy is in our hair, our culture, our families.
It lives in our accomplishments, our genius, our stories, our excellence.
No titles required—Black Joy is the feeling of knowing you belong. How are you celebrating joy today—and every day after that?
