Miss Dee Forbes is a master social studies teacher, educational consultant and doctoral student who is passionate about creating rich learning experiences around Black History education and developing racial literacy in the classroom!

She has taught various social studies courses, including U.S History, World History, African American History, AP United States History, Economics & Personal Finance, Civics & Economics, and she serves as an exam leader for AP African American Studies.

During her student teaching experience, Miss Forbes saw the need for a more engaging curriculum that centered Black stories and histories. She began designing her own resources and curriculum to engage students. Students went from a lack of understanding of Black History to being deeply engaged and invested in learning more. Those seeds planted in college would later sprout into Social Social Studies Scholar LLC. Today, Miss Forbes' lessons and curriculum have supported educators in over 35 U.S states!

As a solo entrepreneur, she has facilitated Black History and social studies learning experiences for organizations like NCSS, NEA, EverFi, Quizlet, University at Buffalo, Gibbs Smith Education and more. She also facilitates interactive teaching workshops on anti-racism and moving from allyship to solidarity through the lens of modern and contemporary civil rights movements.
