What's Next
FUTURE OF BYM
- Building Young Minds (BYM) is a 501c3 NYC that Incentives and monetizes scholarship through leveraging partnerships, technology to engage student scholars in meaningful literary explorations that can cultivate their talents and provide them financial incentives & gifts.
- The underrepresentation of diverse literary voices within publishing and the lack of infrastructures that incentivize scholars, particularly from marginalized backgrounds, to engage with critical literary works. With recent trends seeing critical race theory texts being removed from educational curricula, there's a pressing
- Limited Engagement with the Publishing Industry: Current pathways for student engagement with the publishing sector are fragmented and often lack substantive support and institutional backing.
- Monetization of Literary Talent: The existing frameworks for students to monetize their literary engagement and contributions are not robust, limiting their financial incentives to pursue scholarship.
- Utilization of Technological Tools: Despite advancements in technology, comprehensive digital tools that could facilitate engagement, feedback, and resource sharing among aspiring scholars remain vastly underutilized.
- These challenges are not just limitations; they directly impact the developmental landscape for future writers and scholars, hindering the establishment of an inclusive and diversified literary culture.
- Enhanced Access and Representation: Establishing an ecosystem that empowers underrepresented scholars will create more pathways for diverse voices in literature, enriching the overall literary dialogue.
- Revenue Generation for Future Investments: Implementing a monetization strategy grounded in similar frameworks to Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements in sports will open new financial avenues for students whilst promoting their scholarly pursuits.
- Innovative Use of Technology: Leveraging technology for the distribution of literary works, digital tracking of engagement, and collection of feedback can foster an interactive learning community that continuously evolves.
