ABOUT:

Founded in 2020, NOMMO Cultural Strategies is a pioneering Black-owned consultancy specializing in African-American art, history, and culture. We offer a vertically integrated approach—from licensing and curatorial work to strategic storytelling—ensuring that Black narratives are authentically represented and effectively amplified.

As a Black-led agency, we are committed to serving contemporary Black artists and historical brands at the heart of everything we do. We guide top companies, organizations, and film studios on culturally relevant storytelling, curatorial projects, and marketing strategies designed to engage Black audiences meaningfully.

As an award-winning minority business enterprise, we excel in consulting, curating, and education. We help brands navigate social justice issues and foster genuine connections with Black communities.

Our portfolio includes collaborations with industry leaders like Nike, Meta, eBay, and Ubisoft among other initiatives.

Inspired by the African concept of NOMMO—the power of the spoken word to create life and shape culture—we craft innovative frameworks that bridge history and the present, driving cultural progress and amplifying impactful narratives.

Featured in TIME Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Vogue, CNN, Hollywood Reporter, Fast Company, The LA Times, and NPR, and presented on MasterClass and the History Channel, Tyree's insights are transforming the conversation surrounding the representation of African American art, history, and culture at this crucial time.

As a historian and museum curator, Tyree regularly shares his knowledge as a lecturer at Harvard, UCLA, USC, Spelman, and Morehouse College. He has organized and led public discussions featuring Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Ava DuVernay, Ruth Carter, Terry Crews, Rakim, Chuck D, and KRS-One. Additionally, he has written books and provided consulting services to the Smithsonian Institution, the Getty Museum, the Broad Museum, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic for various successful projects, exhibits, and city-wide festivals.

Inspired to bridge the gaps between the classroom, boardroom, museum gallery, and the African American community, Tyree built NOMMO Cultural Strategies to consult top organizations, studios, and companies on how to use Black history as a lens to reflect and advance equality, equity, and justice within their projects.

Tyree graduated from Temple University with a Master's degree in Africology/African American Studies and from California State University, Bakersfield, with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications and a minor in African American Studies.

Tyree was named Civic Media Fellow with the Annenberg Innovation Lab at USC in 2021 and a 2021 Innovation Fellow with the UCLA Luskin Center for History and Policy. In 2023, he launched Freedom School Online, a digital platform for Black history, antiracism, and creative education.
