Historical Provence
B.Antoinette Designs is rooted in North Carolina, shaped by place, lineage, and a multigenerational commitment to education as both survival and liberation.
The founder descends from freed persons of color in Nash County, North Carolina, communities that navigated the precarious space between bondage and freedom in the nineteenth century by prioritizing land ownership, literacy, church life, and mutual aid. For these families, education functioned as protection—socially, economically, and politically—long before it was guaranteed by law.
Her lineage also traces to enslaved Africans in Johnston County, North Carolina, whose intellectual traditions existed despite systematic efforts to criminalize Black literacy. Knowledge was preserved through oral tradition, spiritual instruction, music, skilled labor, and informal teaching networks—forms of education that operated outside formal institutions but sustained Black life nonetheless.
From these roots emerged a line of educators who understood teaching as both calling and strategy. Across generations, they participated in the broader Black migratory tradition—seeking “the warmth of other suns”—moving where opportunity, safety, or access to schooling could be found. Education was not simply a profession in this lineage; it was a method of community-building, uplift, and resistance.
This historical foundation informs the ethos of B.Antoinette Designs, which centers education, wellness, and representation as inseparable. The brand’s tools—journals, planners, and reflective resources—are designed to support educators as whole people, acknowledging the emotional and intellectual labor inherent in teaching.
This lineage also shapes two connected initiatives:
-
Intellirati Studio, an AI-powered lesson planning platform designed to support teachers with efficiency and ethical intentionality. The platform emphasizes that technology should augment—rather than replace—human judgment, cultural knowledge, and pedagogical care.
-
Black Intellirati, a literacy initiative grounded in critical reading, cultural fluency, and historical consciousness. It reflects a long tradition of Black intellectual life that understands literacy not merely as skill acquisition, but as civic responsibility and self-determination.
Together, these efforts reflect a continuum: from ancestral knowledge systems to modern educational tools, united by the belief that teaching is both an intellectual discipline and a human practice.
B.Antoinette Designs stands on five foundational pillars—Purpose, Representation, Empowerment, Functionality, and Wellness—each shaped by history, geography, and lived experience. The brand exists not only to produce materials, but to sustain educators who carry forward the work of memory, instruction, and care.
