Afro-Media Literacy
Education (AMLE)
A burgeoning theory and practice designed to
mentally liberate, culturally heal and reeducate role models (youth, adults and
seniors) of African descent. Founded by Shani Byard, Ed.D. (artist, educator, social
justice advocate, product of hip hop and proud native of Leimert Park Los Angeles), Afro-Media Literacy Education humbly blends African-Centered pedagogy
with Critical Media, Critical Literacy, Critical Race theories, pedagogies and
practices, and intergenerational learning infused with critical thinking, creative expression
and digital literacy. The objective of Afro-Media Literacy Education is to cultivate cultural, technical and social capital throughout the African Diaspora. AMLE is the foundation for the principles and
methodologies engrained in the educational framework and professional development
services provided by Message Media Ed – School
of Black Leadership in the Digital Age, for the African American community
of South Los Angeles. Please read our Educational Framework with citations here http://www.messagemediaed.org/#!educational-framework
