About Us
Every Piece Matters
Each individual carries a piece. Alone, our pieces lay scattered, but when we intentionally and strategically assemble, our diverse pieces unite to form a powerful mosaic reflecting our collective strength and united purpose. This transformative mosaic has the power to redesign the picture of our community, reshape our narrative, and redefine our identity.
Our Story
The Wise Mosaic, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization born out of the mission-driven mindset of founders Ashley and Ceylon Wise. As educators, artists, content creators, and community organizers, the Wises have long been performing the work of a nonprofit without the official status. They realized that formalizing their organization as a nonprofit would enable them to make a more meaningful impact with community support.
Before achieving nonprofit status, their work included promoting equity and belonging in their school district, creating educational content on The Wise Channel on YouTube such as videos celebrating diverse history makers and their contributions. They also developed elementary education resources, including leadership songs, math songs, curriculum, social emotional learning resources, and Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support content, which have been viewed in schools and homes worldwide, attracting over 20,000 subscribers and millions of views.
Additionally, they organized community talks and forums, such as welcoming David Cook (Taylor Swift’s music director) to speak with local students and teachers, and they presented in workshops and conferences. They also organized community concerts to fundraise for accessible school playgrounds.
With The Wise Mosaic, Inc., the founders are eager to build community partnerships with individuals and organizations to address local needs. Their first official project of The Wise Mosaic is a children’s mental health campaign called “All The Feels.” This campaign features an album where each song focuses on identifying and managing a unique emotion, accompanied by a series of music videos. Future plans include creating supplemental curriculum and learning resources for classrooms, as well as parent and community resources for adults.
