“If youth aren’t learning the way that we teach, we need to teach the way they learn and that goes for what they’re learning.”
At LIFE 20/20, we deliver strategic consulting at the intersection of school climate and culture, curriculum and instruction, and teaching and learning outcomes. Our work bridges evidence-based research and practical implementation—helping senior level leaders and their teams design and customize solutions that inspire excellence and sustainable impact.

Strategic Focus
Every school, district, and organization has a vision for success—but achieving it requires alignment between people, processes, and purpose.
Originally established through federal contracts with the U.S. Office of Minority Health Resource Center and the U.S. National Library of Medicine, LIFE 20/20 has a long-standing track record of providing strategic consultation that improves education and mental health outcomes through teaching, learning, professional development, and training.
Today, we extend that mission through partnerships with schools, foundations, and community organizations—helping leaders strengthen climate and culture, redesign teaching and learning environments, and implement strategies that improve performance and well-being.
Our work combines the discipline of management consulting with the insight of behavioral science and educational transformation, creating pathways for measurable growth and sustained change.

Behavioral & Social Impact
Focus: Mental health, social-emotional learning, MTSS frameworks
We help schools, clinicians, and youth-serving professionals strengthen behavioral, social, and emotional systems. Our evidence-based strategies integrate music, media, and cultural expression to enhance engagement, learning, and wellness in culturally responsive ways. By combining applied research with human-centered approaches, we support measurable outcomes that improve academic, social, and emotional growth.
Learning & Product Design
Focus: Curriculum, licensing, culturally responsive tools
We design and license educational products and tools that merge culture and lifestyle, history and resilience with evidence-based learning. Our customizable solutions equip educators and practitioners with practical, youth- and family-centered resources that foster meaningful engagement and measurable learning outcomes. Each product reflects our philosophy of bridging strategy, culture, and innovation to yield optimal teaching, learning, and health-related outcomes.
Strategy & Implementation
Focus: Evidence-based programs, music/media interventions
Our signature programs are delivered by trained, licensed providers who work in clinical, school, and community settings. We use Music & Media Mindfulness™ [M3], along with Music & Media Therapy™ [MMT] to promote critical thinking, creative expression, and informed decision-making. This culturally responsive approach deepens engagement, supports healthier choices, and strengthens core competencies, yielding measurable impact for children, youth, and families.
“Education without purpose is meaningless, pointless, and unfulfilling. Purpose gives intelligence a reason for being. The education of people must be based on the problems that they have to solve.”
