Koren Dennison

Koren Dennison is a Milwaukee-born raconteur, educator, facilitator, and Black liberatory learning architect committed to creating intergenerational spaces where Black youth and communities can thrive. Raised by a village of strong Black women, Koren understands that her accomplishments are extraordinary for folks where she's from—which is precisely why she's dedicated to responsibly passing the torch.

A first-generation, double alumnus of Marquette University (B.A. '20, M.A. '21 in Corporate Communications), Koren has transitioned from evaluation strategy work focused on amplifying marginalized voices and transforming how we measure impact in communities of color into an independent entrepreneurial journey. She’s developed expertise in culturally responsive evaluation, storytelling methodologies, and community-centered research. Her work now centers on curating community events, Black liberatory education, literacy building, and cultivating intergenerational third-space learning communities.
