Learning To Become Responsible Handlers of Power!
The Adolescent Years are Foundational for Adult Success; Family, Community, &
Nation-Building
Let's Make it a Warrior-Healer-Builder Foundation
Khepera Shule is part of the international "Each One Teach Ten" educational movement spearheaded by AYA Educational Institute. Our hybrid digital and live educational programs combine to nurture Afrikan cultural identity development with mission-based creativity, exploration, and academic rigor. The goal is to help our families and our teens meet the challenges we face today, and the ones they'll face tomorrow as confident Afrikan men and women.
Rescuing Our
Children & Youth
To rescue our children, we must educate our own. Education used to be one of our most potent weapons for power, justice & freedom.
Now, it's a prison for our youth and our future. Suppression of our story has morphed into willful distortion and psychic violence when a Black child can't be taught the truth if it makes a white student or their parents "feel guilty or uncomfortable."
How long will she continue to raise her hand when only her subservient voice is allowed and praised? How well can he learn when he is forced to step into the academic gutter to let a white student pass?
They need an education That "keeps it real" and evokes their power.
Our youth also see ICE and police slamming their peers to the ground. They endure or see more "Karens" and police harassing and arresting Black package deliverers.
Do we leave them to comedians and social media to process this?
They need a place that's theirs. We are creating that space.
Reshaping Ourselves
Oppression has bent and twisted us - parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Lulled into their illusions, definitions, values, and helping systems, we've come up short.
IEPs, the autism spectrum, multiple intelligences, trauma-informed care, and other blaming-the-victim strategies have lowered expectations and made us more fearful and dependent.
Dr. John H. Clarke warned us. Still, we endorsed an education for equity and inclusion instead of one for power to change the system or to build our own.
Nana Amos N. Wilson warned us that without power to enforce them, laws offer no protection. Even a blind man can see that now!
The real question is what will our youth see us doing and prescribing for them in the face of unmasked America's renewed racist attacks on Black education, culture, and Black bodies?
Some of our unconscious assumptions about ourselves and about the system need to change.
EOTT/Khepera is for us adults too!
Remolding Education For
A Powerful Future
EOTT Circles are creating new models of education and educational delivery. Over the years, we've deluded ourselves and diluted our goals - from victory to inclusion, from power to make change, to proving our worth for acceptance.
Sankofa - Let's go back to the future!
The early "freedom schools" nurtured a Pan-Afrikan identity, a revolutionary warrior, healer, builder mindset and culture.
The Saturday schools and study groups challenged us to read deeply, think critically, and envision boldly. They also developed camaraderie and trust necessary for collective action challenging oppressive systems.
Freedom schools rode the wave of decades of Black political, economic, and social agitation. While we don't have that luxury, we have their stories & lessons. Let's use them.
Our youth will have to do the heavy lifting.
EOTT is preparing them.
Discover. Imagine. Learn.
Learning Through
Truth-Seeking & Becoming
Khepera, from ancient Kemet, means becoming or creating. Younger children take their identity from their parents or caregivers. Teens, on the other hand, are asking where their parents' voices end and where theirs begin. It's a natural evolution. It's also a dangerous period made ripe for manipulation by the alienating miseducation and socialization they've already received.
At EOTT/Khepera, we use Afrikan-centered academic inquiry to heal that alienation, thwart manipulation, and provide guidance for them becoming strong Afrikan-centered young men and women - warriors, healers, and builders. EOTT Circles provide:
Safe and exciting weekend or afterschool spaces (online and off) which encourage youth to discuss, interrogate, explore, build confidence and trust and create options for action.
A growing online national and international community of peers and adults that support culturally based and mission-driven critical thinking for addressing the challenges faced by our people.
Enhanced research, memory, reading, writing, calculating, scientific inquiry and presentation skills. Every course, every gathering builds creativity, an increased love for African people and confidence for learning how to solve our problems.
Warrior - Healer - Builder mindset and skill-sets: S/I line: Countering the dynamics of oppression; FAM: Emotional expertise and balance; MORT- Managing Our River of Touches that affirms us, and directs and redirects our actions; SIO: Learning to tell and retell our stories from the inside-out instead of the outside (the oppressor side) in!
The Psychic and Academic Power of Meaning and Mission Learning
Healing Courses Offered
Throughout the Year
We are all being affected by the anti-Afrikan movement in the US. Our youth are affected the most, and in ways that we see the least. Their natural inclination to dream of a powerful, protected community is twisted by fear into dreams of viral videos, billionaire domination, false bravado, apathy, or even suicide. EOTT doesn't let this go unchecked. Each course is an elixir of healing content, methodology, exercises, evaluations,, and community demonstrations. All courses are vehicles for culture and mission-based critical thinking, authentic emotions and discussion.
The War Series
Afrikan, Gullah & Black Seminole Wars: 1526 to 1865
Araminta Harriet Tubman's
Warrior-Healer-Builder Story
Economic Nationalism: Tulsa's Black Wall Street
"Why didn't we fight back?" After this course, they'll never ask that again. This is a war studies course focusing on the conduct, consequences, strategies, and effects of our 300-years of military action against oppressors. Effective fighting today and tomorrow, depend on learning from yesterday's fighting stories.
Hers is also US History 1822-1913. Her white biographers lied - the gun was never for us! She fought for us. Now, she needs us to fight for her. It is a war for our memory, her story. Movies and biographies guided by racist scripts like MSO, UBO, etc. distort her story, our stories, our personalities, and power?
Economic Nationalism: Tulsa's Black Wall Street. How did we build, sustain and defend it against invasion? How did we build under duress? Why did we support each other? Who was the teenager we refused to abandon? What was "The Afrikan Blood Brotherhood?" How do we tell a story about our loss in ways that inspire and empower us today?
The STEAM Series
Melanin Healing Science
Sankofa Math
Ngolo Zandiakina: Thwarting The Seven Killers
Using Melanin to heal the teaching of science, and using the science of melanin to heal our bodies! Why does melanin accompany wound healing and all births? It's in your heart, too. What does it do there?
"I'm just not good at math." Enhancing math skills by healing the induced alienation of our people from math (the subject) or from our people. Sankofa Math reconnects us with our math genius in practical and esoteric terms.
What biology and chemistry knowledge is required to activate our self-healing power and therapy to thwart the 7 major diseases that kill Afrikan Americans yearly? Most students have family members under attack.This provides extra incentive to research and apply their learning to critique current remedies.
The Story-Healing Series
The Family-Lore Project
Story Healing Power
Red Gold
Binding family across the generations. You know the power of culture and "Folklore." Now, learn the power of family-lore to heal and empower. Students become interviewers, and oral and written tellers of their family lore. They create games, contests, and, most importantly, connection and appreciation.
We're not a broken people and have no broken families; we only have broken stories. When we heal our stories, our stories heal us. Forget D. P. Moynihan's "blame the victim" strategy. Also, forget those who lure us into the Trauma Trap. We use our ancient storytelling skills and cultural insights to heal, instruct, and extend our power.
Inspired by Ayi Kwei Armah's characters, Araba Jesiwa, Domfo, and Densu from his novel - The Healers. We study the healing process of Araba Jesiwa and how we may use it to heal from the wounds of oppression. It starts with purging the falsehood from the abused self and ends with the conception and birth of a new Afrikan.
Why Choose Us
Because a rooted identity gives them powerful adult wings.
In December 2025, JD Vance, the Vice President of the US, announced at a Turning Point Conference, "You don't have to apologize for being white!" This is a white-power group functioning as a "civic group." Turning Point is also rapidly establishing high school chapters nation-wide. (See Ashleythebarroness here) Their goal is to convert our youth to support a white domination anti-Afrikan agenda before their cultural and political critical thinking has fully developed. That way, it won't seem like force. The self-destructive support will just be "normal."
EOTT is our counter.
Empowering Young Minds as the Ancestors Imagined
Each class, subject, discussion, and exercises seek to help us answer Nana J.H. Clarke's Afrikan leadership challenge by answering the following questions relative to our people which we can no longer take for granted:
How will we stay on this Earth?
How will we be housed?
How will we be healed? (added)
How will we be fed?
How will we be clothed?
How will we be educated?
How will we defended?

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to your most frequently asked questions here.
Can courses be used for school credit?
Although these courses are not designed for "public or private school" acceptance, many have accepted AYA courses on college admission transcripts, and for official homeschooling records. Quite frankly, typical school credit is too puny a standard for these courses. They don't have standards for academic warrior-healer-builder rigor!
How do I motivate students and track student progress?
The AYA Support Specialists are trained and supported to motivate the students. In AYA's 29 years of teaching and supporting students, motivation always followed identity, mission and purpose. Tracking: Our online platform provides regular reports, weekly challenges, and monthly assessments. Student demonstrations. Students get to present to our families and communities.
