RJ Ramey is the founder & Creative Director of Auut Studio, which produced the digital project MonroeWorkToday.org. Based in San Francisco, California, the studio was started in 2015 to raise the bar on creating digital resources for history teachers and museums. Highlighting the intellectual history of people of color, Auut Studio is unique for embracing creative new methods that inspire and encourage young people to use media to create and critically analyzed their own interpretations of the past. In 2019 RJ launched "PlainTalkHistory.com" a collaborative umbrella among scholars, history teachers, and digital designers. Guided by a Board of Advisors, Auut Studio voluntarily develops or redesigns websites, lesson plans, and other teaching activities that are accessible via tablet or smartphone. RJ is on a mission with #PlainTalkHistory to eliminate the technical barrier that keeps us from designing the curricula materials we've all been waiting for.
