Emanyatta is a program to see if early culturally sensitive and culturally enriching intervention will positively impact students.  This pilot program was created to specifically serve as a buffer for students of African descent as they navigate environments which often denigrate their heritage and view them negatively. 

​

Increasing black students’ understanding of their history and culture to bolster their self-esteem was a primary goal. Research has shown that students with such knowledge and who have positive self-esteem do better in school and overall in life.
