ESE Consulting builds culturally grounded learning tools and experiences that hand young people the power to create, not just content to consume.
Rooted in deep expertise in the African Diaspora and built at the intersection of social science, art, and technology, our work reaches every scholar who's ever been handed something that didn't reflect them.
Founded and led by applied cultural anthropologist Dr. Deneia Y. Fairweather, ESE Consulting, LLC designs culturally grounded learning tools and immersive experiences for the scholars most educational technology overlooks. We bridge academic research and community need — turning rigorous scholarship into systems, digital tools, and experiences that young people can actually use.
"The gap isn't in the learners. It's in the tools built for them "
"The gap isn't in the learners. It's in the tools built for them "
Most educational technology treats whole communities of young people as an afterthought—young people of the African Diaspora among the most overlooked—adapting general products rather than designing with anyone's story in mind. The result is scholars handed history and tools that rarely reflect them and rarely hand them any authorship.
ESE Consulting closes that gap. We design from the first line of code for the scholars who are usually an afterthought—with deep expertise in the African Diaspora and a method that serves any community that's been overlooked—so cultural depth and measurable outcomes arrive as the same decision, not a trade-off.
