“Literacy is a bridge from misery to hope.”
– Kofi Annan

Our Mission

The mission of “I See Me, Inc.” is to dismantle the “School-to-Prison Pipeline” by increasing the literacy rates in children of color by engaging them in literature that reflects their culture and mirrors their image.

Our Vision
