Helping Today

Our Story

BlackBoy Blueprint was founded by Taraneika Brady, an educator, youth advocate, and community leader with direct experience working within DeKalb County schools and underserved communities.
Through her work in education and workforce development, she identified critical gaps in access to career exposure, financial literacy, and mentorship for young men. In response, she developed the Blueprint Brotherhood Pipeline™, a structured, outcomes driven model designed to equip boys with the skills, resources, and pathways needed to achieve long term economic mobility and leadership success.
