Greetings! I'm Shante Nelson, a passionate advocate for educational equality and the CEO of Blume Academy. My journey in the realm of education and social change began when I was a 9th-grade teacher. Witnessing firsthand the struggles of economically disadvantaged students who were unable to read even three-letter words, I knew that I couldn't remain silent. This pivotal moment ignited a fire within me to create lasting change in the lives of these young individuals and their communities.

With a background in education and a heart full of determination, I embarked on a mission to bridge the educational gap and empower students who are often overlooked by the system. Through Blume Academy, we have taken substantial strides in providing comprehensive support to economically disadvantaged students, helping them realize their full potential and ensuring that their circumstances do not define their futures.
