Homework for
the real world.

Do your research. Know the facts. Don’t accept the official story without digging. We create media, lessons, and community work that help people study the system, not just the textbook.

We don’t take the story. We do the homework.

Do Your Homework Media was born from a man who spent decades incarcerated for a crime he did not commit and came home determined to make sure communities don’t take anyone’s word as the final truth.

Our work sits where media, education, and lived experience meet. We build content and “homework” that help young people, adults, and elders study the forces shaping their lives – courts, cops, politics, culture, and community – so they can move with knowledge instead of confusion.

From innocence work to church pulpits and street corners, Do Your Homework Media shows up wherever people are ready to learn beyond the headlines.

Your Flowers Now

Your Flowers Now is our tribute center – a place to honor the people who carried weight for others, fought for good, and tried to make change long before the crowd was watching.

We believe respect should arrive while people can still feel it. Through stories, photos, and live moments, we highlight the strongest links in our communities: mentors, organizers, returning citizens, caregivers, “Black Wonder Women,” and every person who quietly holds others up.
