#CouncilmemberTyronHampton and the #pasadenacitycouncil invite us all to this enlightening event! --- The Black Education Expo ensures that Southern California youth are exposed to scholarship opportunities and various educational resources. It is a semi-annual event series designed to empower students and families. The event serves as a one-stop hub for K-12 educational resources, workshops, and a celebration of Black & other historically marginalized communities (All Are Welcome.) BEE emphasizes culturally relevant resources. The expo prides itself in its community-driven impact and centering on communities of color. The Spring 2024 Black Education Expo was featured in the Los Angeles Sentinel Newspaper, which California Assemblymember Chris Holden supported, and Dr. Tyrone Howard from UCLA. https://lnkd.in/gN3JtrRT
