Meet our CEO: Shaniyah
Shaniyah Graham, born and raised in Baltimore, experienced educational inequities and personal loss early in life—shaping her deep commitment to advocacy and change.
She turned her pain into purpose by stepping into the world of education and mentorship, hosting grief seminars and developing the BRATZ program to support, uplift, and
empower youth.
In 2022, she officially founded Baltimore BRATZ, offering trauma-informed care, leadership development, and mentorship for young people in the community. As a paraeducator and tutor, Shaniyah continues to create safe, empowering spaces for students while expanding her vision through after-school programming and the future BRATZ Studio.
