Most educators of color struggle with the education field for many reason. Ms. Ty, the creator of Black University felt like her voice wasn't being heard and that she was being punished for the exact reason she was hired: Thus developing black University.

Black University's mission is to connect educators of color with the resources & support network they need so they can not only thrive within their profession but nurture and advance themselves because after all, educators are people outside of their job. Creating a space to educate through the lens of black culture. While emphasizing growth through literacy because reading is essential for those who seek to rise above the ordinary.
