This discussion centers on enhancing community-based Black education—traditionally passed through storytelling and folktales—using Web3 technology. Panelists agree Web3 offers tools to break down barriers, enabling educators directly to reach learners and reclaim cultural narratives. Challenges like misinformation and lack of infrastructure must be addressed by building digital ecosystems and governance rooted in culture and community. Emphasizing lifelong, accessible education and economic self-reliance, the conversation highlights the need for secure, community-controlled digital libraries and platforms that ensure ownership of content. Ultimately, success depends on education, unity, and building systems led by and for the Black community to sustain knowledge, value, and economic power.
