ABOUT JEBEH EDMUNDS

Jebeh Edmunds is an Author, CEO, and cultural storyteller whose work centers multicultural education, cultural identity, and inclusive leadership.

Through fiction, media, and professional development, she creates stories and frameworks that help individuals, schools, and organizations better understand culture as lived experience.

Born in Liberia and raised in the United States after emigrating with her family in 1982, Jebeh’s passion for multicultural education began early. Growing up in a predominantly white suburban community, she often found herself advocating for cultural pride and belonging. A defining moment came in sixth grade when her father visited her classroom and asked her to stand before her peers and proclaim her cultural identity—an experience that became the foundation of her life’s work.

Jebeh is a graduate of the University of Minnesota Duluth with a degree in Communication, holds a Post-Baccalaureate Certification in Education, and earned a Master of Science in Teaching from The College of St. Scholastica. With over 18 years of experience in education, broadcast journalism, and curriculum development, she has taught thousands of students from early childhood through higher education, consistently integrating storytelling, equity, and cultural competence.

Today, Jebeh is the Founder & CEO of Jebeh Cultural Consulting LLC, where she partners with schools, nonprofits, and organizations to deliver cultural competency training, DEI professional development, and inclusive leadership frameworks. She is also the author of Orange Blossom, a novel rooted in cultural memory and diasporic storytelling, and the host of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast, a space for thoughtful conversations on culture, education, leadership, and belonging.

A first-generation immigrant, veteran educator, and founding member of the African Heritage Board Commission in her community, Jebeh’s work is grounded in legacy, leadership, and service. She is also a devoted wife and mother of two, drawing inspiration from family, faith, and the generations who came before her.

At the heart of her work is a simple belief:
when people are seen, heard, and rooted in their stories, communities thrive.
