We’re back for Year 3 of Black Parent Innovation Lab! We are so excited to officially announce our 2024-25 Innovation Fellows! This year we are honored to have a diverse group of Black Parents and Caregivers who are ready to innovate and change their communities. Folks will be exploring issues around health & wellness, travel & education, healing modalities, and more.
The Black Parent Innovation Lab is an opportunity for Black parents to experiment, iterate and hone new strategies to help their communities thrive. Through intentional community building and hands-on design intensives, these 10 California-based Innovators will embark on a 6-month journey anchored in liberatory design and healing justice that sparks innovation, radical abundance, joy and play rooted in the power and possibility of Blackness.
Join us in welcoming our 2024-25 Cohort!
