Middle schoolers will explore what makes global brands like Afro Unicorn, Fear of God Essentials, and Beyoncé stand out, then use those insights to design personal brands rooted in their own values, passions, and leadership qualities. They’ll build tools to confidently showcase their talents to sports teams, clubs, and future schools without bias. Students will refine their digital presence: social media, LinkedIn, and email signatures for consistency and impact, and explore the power of supporting real Black-owned brands. They’ll also discuss what it means to “trademark yourself,” protecting their ideas, image, and voice.
