The Temple Beautiful project is the vision of Emlyn DeGannes. She is an author, a publisher, owner of MeJah Books, and an advocate for those that have been incarcerated. Her expertise in literacy, education, entrepreneurship, and community has commissioned her to intercept the prison pipeline. Her humanitarian work seeks to lift every child to stand strong, be proud, and build a future they deserve.
A mentoring initiative, The Temple Beautiful project unearths creativity and hope in the community’s youth through the guidance of talented entrepreneurs. It is our mission to honor our youth’s culture, give them voice, and embrace their identity.
