About Us

Kulture Kids Lab is a literacy learning center that uses a holistic approach to enhance youth literacy skills and foster a love of reading and writing.

Kulture Kids Lab was co-created by our sister duo, Sashana Maitland and Kamillah Dawkins, who share a passion for literacy and learning. In our combined years of working in schools as educators—from teaching to coaching to administration—we noticed a large gap in how literacy needs are being addressed, or rather not addressed, in schools. Thus, Kulture Kids Lab was born.

Our mission is to use culturally sustaining pedagogy to enhance students’ literacy skills and criticality, empowering them to feel whole, loved, and capable in their journey of learning and personal growth.

As lifelong learners, we also understand the benefits of educators being equipped with the best tools to support our youth in their literacy journeys. Therefore, we are dedicated to providing space for collaboration with other educators, offering both teacher coaching and project-based consulting for those looking to develop specific curriculum resources.

At Kulture Kids Lab, we are committed to creating an inclusive and enriching environment where every student can thrive and every educator can inspire.
