“The only way you can allow a kid to truly dream is if you expand their idea of what is currently possible. A kid who has nothing, seeing nothing, and is taught nothing... can only hope to get to the next moment successfully. I want more than that for my kids.”

W. Kamau Bell

Comedian, host, producer, and DonorsChoose Board Member

“Black teachers matter for Black students. I credit my amazing teacher Elizabeth Clarke for truly seeing me in school — and that feeling of being seen and feeling valued is more important now than ever. Representation has always mattered.”

Yvette Nicole Brown

Actress, host, and DonorsChoose Board Vice Chair

“I felt seen in school when teachers found ways to connect my individuality to my education. This Black History Month, let's help educators make their students feel seen by giving them tools to make their students' creativity a valuable part of their curriculum.”

Amanda Seales

Comedian, actress, author

“Seeing a Black girl in a popular book series and getting to play a pivotal and heroic role sparked something in me. It made me think that maybe I could do something like this.”
