About This Cause

Our mission successfully supports education and the community in 4 primary areas: 1. SERVICE: our E-12 and Teacher Candidate Development through our Teacher Forum. Our workshop includes HD video tutorials, lesson plans, coaching and ongoing support. We are directing more of this service into higher education to enhance the cultural and family capacity of the teachers of tomorrow. 2. MEDIA: HD videos that enhance our articles and preserve our stories. Called "Voices That Guide Us," they assist teachers and inspire all students and communities to value themselves, education and African America more. We also use our Podcast, Blog and Social Media pages for interaction (FaceBook, Twitter and Instagram); COME FOLLOW US!!!!! 3. PROGRAMS: Our two Street Team programs bring middle school youth of different races together with Elders for recorded and published dialogue. This allows cross-cultural and cross-generational bonding for a valuable life experience of inersectionality. We also challenge youth to research our content (episodes, locations or people) to create (write) provocative questions. They verbalize and we publish their question on camera so they interact with and teach the world. 4. SCHOLARSHIP: The Frances McHie Scholarship seeks to award small financial grants to individual students at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing who are interested in becoming nurses or seeking to advance their nursing education. African American nursing students, non-white students and first-generation college students are strongly encouraged to apply. Addressing racism in the healthcare field was a lifelong pursuit of Frances McHie. This scholarship is intended to continue her legacy.
