The Birth Of A Legacy
est.1982

Timbuktu Academy

With a $200 gift from her mother, Jamilah and her husband Umar Abdul-Raheem started the Timbuktu Academy Located in Trenton, New Jersey, the Academy quickly became known for its impeccable quality of service and early childhood curriculum. Despite being located in one of the highest drug an crime populated areas, children from the inner city of Trenton, as well as suburban families patronized the school.

The Legacy Continues

The torch has been passed to the 2nd generation! Timbuktu Academy, operating as Timbuk2 Academy is now under the leadership of Ayana Abdul-Raheem, daughter of the founders. The Academy now has an Early Childhood Division, as well as a Youth Division exclusive to girls and young women; with a specialty in serving system impacted girls.

bornWORTHY.

Hey Girl! You're bornWORTHY.

Girls in historically disenfranchised communities experience barriers relative to their wealthier peers. These inequities are cumbersome and have significant effects on one's self-perception and personal development. A subsidiary of Timbuk2 Academy, bornWORTHY. was birthed with the intent to validate, inspire, empower and affirm our children. A child’s sense of worth shapes their learning and loving! #bornWORTHY.

LIFE & CULTURE

Follow #timbuk2academy on Instagram

Violence against women and girls remains a critical issue in New Jersey and Trenton, impacting countless lives. In 2022, over 60,000 domestic violence incidents were reported statewide. Yet, research shows many cases go unreported due to fear, stigma, or lack of support. Trenton, unfortunately, reflects these troubling statistics, where reports of domestic violence and gender-based violence continue to rise, especially among young women and girls.

For every survivor who comes forward, there are others who suffer in silence, hidden in the shadows of fear and shame. We must create safe spaces and robust support systems to encourage victims to seek help and ensure they feel protected and empowered to speak out.

At Timbuk2 Academy, we stand firm in our mission to protect, and educate girls.

It’s on all of us to:
✅ Create safe spaces for girls to express themselves.
✅ Raise awareness about resources available to victims.
✅ Advocate for systemic changes to protect women and girls.
✅ Foster environments where girls can thrive without fear.

No more silence. No more suffering. Let’s work together to end violence against women and girls.

If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, call the NJ Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-572-SAFE (7233) or connect with local organizations for help.

💔 Stop Telling Kids to “Be Strong” After Loss 💔

At Timbuk2 Academy, we believe in teaching our girls to feel, process, and heal—not suppress. Telling a child to “be strong” after losing a loved one may seem encouraging, but it can actually be dismissive of their emotions and unrealistic.

When we say “be strong,” we often unknowingly send the message that their feelings should be hidden or that grief is a weakness. This can lead to bottled-up emotions and unresolved pain. Instead, let’s teach children that it’s okay to cry, to miss, to ask questions, and to grieve in their own way.

Children need support, not pressure. They need spaces where they can be vulnerable, not expectations to “hold it together.” Healing comes from honoring their emotions, not silencing them.

Let’s replace “be strong” with:
✨ “It’s okay to feel how you feel.”
✨ “I’m here for you.”
✨ “Take your time.”

Because strength isn’t about hiding pain, it’s about embracing it and moving forward with love and care.

💛 Let’s nurture our children, not burden them. #timbuk2taughtME

While the cost of education might seem high, the consequences of not being educated, are far more costly in the long run.

Ignorance can lead to:

📌Limited opportunities for personal and professional growth.
📌Poor decision-making due to a lack of knowledge or skills.
📌Being more vulnerable to exploitation or misinformation.

Essentially, the investment in education (whether formal or self-directed) pays off by empowering individuals to improve their lives The saying encourages people to see education as a valuable, long-term investment rather than a burdensome expense.
.
The question is: Are you willing to pay the price now to avoid the cost of ignorance later?

Did you know in traditional African cultures, a child’s name is more than just a label? It’s a legacy, a prayer, and a pathway to confidence.

Names often carry deep meanings, connecting our girls to their ancestors, community, and purpose.

For example:
🌸Ayana means beautiful flower.

🌟 Nia from Swahili means “Purpose.”
🖤Imani stands for Faith.

When a girl knows the meaning of her name, she walks differently. She speaks with pride and holds her head high because her name reminds her who she is and where she comes from.

👉🏽 Parents, teachers, and mentors: let’s be very intentional about pronouncing our girls names correctly and encourage them to learn and uphold the beauty and strength behind their names. Confidence starts with identity! #heyGirl #blossomingintojoy #riteofpassage

🤔What does your name mean? Drop it in the comments! Let’s celebrate the power of names together.

Invest in HER: Why High-Quality Personal Development for Girls Matters

Did you know that less than 0.5% of all charitable funds in the U.S. go to Black-led organizations? And when it comes to organizations serving ALL girls, the percentage is even smaller. Yet, these experiences are vital for the future of our communities.

💡 High-quality personal development programs teach girls:
✔️ Confidence to lead (self)
✔️ Resilience to overcome adversity
✔️ Skills to break barriers

Black-led organizations like Timbuk2 Academy are on the frontlines, offering transformative experiences that center culture, healing and leadership for Black girls and all girls.

If we want to see stronger communities, we need to invest in the development of the next generation of women leaders the girls of today.

Support organizations that are transforming lives. Your investment in a girl’s personal development is an investment in a brighter future for everyone.

Throwback
Legacy!!!!

Since its founding, Timbuktu Academy has been rooted in the historical legacy of Black innovation and excellence in education. The academy’s name draws inspiration from the ancient city of Timbuktu, a renowned center of learning, culture, and knowledge in Mali that served as a beacon of intellectual progress and empowerment for centuries. Here, we continue that tradition of groundbreaking education, offering a space where young Black girls are encouraged not only to learn but to dream, create, and lead. ❤️ 🖤 💚

Our girls don’t just learn, they blossom into leaders, embodying the spirit of Timbuktu and carrying its legacy forward.

Hey Girl! Blossoming into Joy

At Timbuk2 Academy, self-love isn’t just a lesson, its a priority. 🌸 When girls learn to love themselves early, they begin to see their power, set boundaries, and show others how they deserve to be treated. 💫

Self-love radiates from within, and when it shines through our girls, the world can’t help but notice! It’s our mission to instill these principles early on, so they walk with poise, grace, and confidence, knowing that self-love is the best!

Together, let’s raise girls who know their worth, own their power, and inspire others to do the same.

#SelfLove #GirlPower #blossomUP #FLOWERS #timbuk2taughtME #Timbuk2Academy #Confidence #Empowerment

Want to bring this experience to your school or program? Our bookings are still open but will close soon, so don’t miss out!

Email: info@Timbuk2academy.org to learn more, and let’s work together to offer something truly special for your girls. 🌸🌺

Intergenerational Learning Experiences at Timbuk2 Academy.
Asante Sana (thank you very much) We thank you for being in community with us!!

@timbuk2academy Timbuk2 Academy, we embrace intergenerational learning rooted in African-centered principles, where knowledge flows from one generation to the next. Our Mamas play a vital role in passing down wisdom, resilience, and cultural values, creating a foundation for our girls to thrive and grow with a strong sense of identity and purpose. This past weekend, we had the joy of taking our girls—and some of our Mamas—to Broadway for an inspiring experience in New York City. It’s these moments that truly lift our mission and keep us moving forward.
Our village is truly amazing! We are stronger together!

Good morning, everyone! Today is Water Our Girls Wednesday, day when our community comes together to show appreciation and support for the girls at Timbuk2 Academy.

Unfortunately, our efforts are overshadowed by the challenges posed by poorly maintained, abandoned buildings nearby. These buildings, neglected for decades, have become hotspots for loitering and littering, impacting our property and, ultimately, our students’ environment. Despite repeated complaints, this issue has persisted for years.

Our girls deserve a clean, safe, and inspiring space to learn and grow. We’re committed to creating positive change, and we appreciate any support in making Timbuk2 Academy a safe haven for our youth and a source of pride for our community.

Dear Girls,

Every lesson you’re taught at Timbuk2 Academy is rooted in intention and purpose. We don’t just tell you to speak up and be confident in your beliefs—we model it. Just like you, I’m challenged daily to raise my voice. No longer will I let my work simply speak for itself; I am stepping forward, speaking up, and putting my voice behind the mission I’ve dedicated my life to.

My creativity and gifts have opened doors I never imagined, and I want you to know that the same is possible for you. Be brave and step beyond the comfort of the 7 miles around you and explore what’s beyond the city limits.

You see, the world is my garden and I have seeds to plant and flowers to blossom! 🌸 #CANADA #justATimbuk2girl 😉

The world is waiting for your gifts.

Love,
Mama Ayana

The CEO, Founder & Owner of @iambornworthy @timbuk2academy
