Working w/ Dr. B

Dr. Nightengale-Lee partners with school districts, nonprofits, and community-based organizations to design, strengthen, and evaluate educational experiences that are culturally efficacious, humanizing, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Her work blends scholarship, community knowledge, and creative expression to help institutions move from intention to impact.

All offerings are interactive, relational, and tailored to the specific goals, contexts, and communities of each organization.

Most requested workshops include:

• Activating student voice through music, hip hop, and literacy
