A culture bearer is a person who is deeply rooted in the layers of their heritage, to the degree that they are confident in transmitting the eligible parts of their culture to others. With this program, we seek to encourage self-guided and self-paced learning; the Culture Bearer Pathway (CBP) is not bound to an already established, formal, gate-kept curriculum, which means that we hope you will follow the threads that excite you!

The CPB was created with the intention of honoring the creative scholar in each of us, understanding that education does not need to look one specific way to be legitimate.

The vision for this program is that it will eventually include pathways for many dimensions of one's heritage; our inaugural program teaches learners about the ways in which contributions of Black Americans are foundational to the development of America's cultural and economic identity.
