What Do We Do?

Scaling Impact Through Storytelling, Data, and Skills

We believe that leadership is not just about representation—it’s about preparation.
We are expanding our reach by:

Developing AI-Driven Data Tools – The Dharma Project creates fair, data-backed value assessments to provide insight across industries including media, sports, and corporate organizations.

Expanding Leadership Education – The Maxine Shaw Effect curriculum is preparing middle and high school students with essential leadership skills for the future.

Creating Compelling Content Through Story – We can’t bridge the economic wealth gap or affect meaningful change without telling the right stories and amplifying the right messaging. The most pressing issues, from climate change to economic injustice, demand powerful narratives that drive action and change.

We tell the stories and do the work.

The Maxine Shaw Effect

Anecdotally, we knew the character of Maxine Shaw, on the hit television series Living Single, inspired countless people to become powerful leaders. For decades Maxine has influenced Black girls, and young women and men of all races, to excel and pursue careers in Law, Politics, Leadership and as C-Suite Executives.

The Dharma Project

The Dharma Project is a groundbreaking AI-driven technology designed to redefine how value is assessed in the entertainment industry and beyond. The brainchild of actress, producer, and activist Erika Alexander, the project was born out of her firsthand experience with the entertainment industry's failure to accurately reflect the cultural and commercial worth of actresses like herself. While the word “Dharma” has a variety of meanings in Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism, this project leans into its widely used definition of “Purpose.” What began as a purpose-driven assessment tool known as “The Street Cred Index” has evolved. Today, using a proprietary AI-driven algorithm, the Dharma Project aims to bridge this gap by utilizing cutting-edge data analytics to create a more equitable value assessment system across industries.
