Melanin Mindset offers one-on-one consulting and monthly workshops designed to equip high school students of color with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to navigate their academic, personal, and professional journeys. Centered around identity, leadership, wellness, and post-secondary success, each monthly session is informative, interactive, and inspiring. Students engage in culturally responsive lessons that affirm their experiences, build their voice, and connect them to real-world opportunities—from scholarships and college access to mental health and community impact.
