W8CED THINK TANK

Communities

The W8CED curriculum and training offer a bold, bottom-up solution for our historic moment. It is a blueprint for self-sufficiency, equipping communities with the knowledge, tools, and power to drive their economic transformation. Blending historical insight with collective action meets today’s challenges and lays the groundwork for communities to heal, build, and thrive.

Funders and Government Partners

For funders, this is a strategic investment in sustainable, community-led development. At a time when traditional approaches are falling short, this model equips residents with the tools to drive economic transformation from within. Grounded in historical insight and collective action, W8CED turns underinvestment into opportunity by building local capacity, strengthening civic infrastructure, and fostering data-driven, scalable solutions.

Organizations and Corporations

We offer a comprehensive consulting and training approach that helps companies and organizations build capacity from the ground up. Our model equips your team and stakeholders with actionable tools rooted in historical insight, using a bottom-up framework for building leadership and data-driven strategy.

Educators

For educators committed to teaching history, the W8CED training offers a robust, community-based approach to learning and leadership. Our curriculum connects historical insight, like the legacy of Black self-determination and economic resilience, to present-day strategies for building community wealth and civic agency. It’s capacity building that equips students, families, and communities with the tools to shape their own futures.
