About Black Kids Love Math 2026
Why is Black students' math literacy worse than other students?
Black Kids Love Math Addresses this head-on.
In 2023, we launched FACTS BET ON ME, featuring Black math experts who came and spoke about what they thought the issues were. Covering the basis of ALL students, the experts spoke about math educators taking the disparity of Black math education personally, and about the fact that black children have not moved off the bottom. Following this data from our first conference, we decided we couldn’t allow our discussions to become general. We didn't want it to be a kumbaya moment where people came in a room and felt good about talking about black children in math, when it's so bad.
When you look at it as a whole, at some point, you've got to say it has to do with what goes on in every classroom. You can't keep saying they're poor, or that they come from dysfunctional families, or that they’re living in poverty.
At some point, you've got to do the MATH.
Everyone was seeing it as black kids don't love math, don't do math, can't do math.
Black kids DO love math, but nobody was seeing that. So we flipped the script and evolved into Black Kids Love Math.

The Knowledge Shop Los Angeles
The Knowledge Shop Los Angeles was created for parents and their children from Black and Brown communities. Enabling access to educational services that assist in the empowerment and educational development of their children. For many years, middle-class families all over the globe have provided their children with additional extracurricular support services to ensure that their children either succeed in the educational system or gain additional opportunities for entering university. The first center was launched in July 2015 in Mid-City Los Angeles, California. It is now based in South Central Los Angeles, California in an area dominated by African American and Latino businesses. There is no business like it in the vicinity.
