Who we are.
Established in 2020, NOMMO Cultural Strategies is a pioneering creative consultancy dedicated to 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 elevated.
As a Black-owned agency, we support contemporary Black artists and historical brands. We advise companies, organizations, and film studios on culturally significant storytelling and marketing strategies for engaging Black audiences. As an award-winning minority business, we specialize in consulting, curation, and education, helping brands navigate social justice and build genuine connections with Black communities.
Endorsed by Beyoncé’s Knowles-Carter BeyGOOD Foundation, our portfolio features collaborations with industry leaders such as Nike, Meta, eBay, the Lego Company, and Ubisoft, among other clients.
Inspired by the African concept of NOMMO—the power of the spoken word to create life and shape culture—we develop innovative frameworks that link history and the present, fostering cultural progress and amplifying significant narratives.
Our Founder.
Tyree Boyd-Pates, the founder, principal, and CEO of NOMMO, is a museum curator, historian, professor, author, speaker, and social entrepreneur based in Los Angeles. He examines Black culture through a millennial perspective and actively connects with communities of color via journalism, social media, and educational history.
Eager to close the divides between classrooms, boardrooms, museum galleries, and the African American community, Tyree established NOMMO Cultural Strategies. This initiative aims to advise top organizations, studios, and companies on leveraging Black history as a lens to reflect and advocate for equality, equity, and justice in their projects aimed at supporting the African American community.
