Nxt Gen Creators™, powered by the Esteves Creative Group, offers training, tools, mentorship, and exclusive access for young creatives of color from 10th grade to the collegiate level. Our mission is to help them refine business plans, launch businesses, develop technology, release products, build NIL personal brands, and pursue creative careers within our community.
Through hands-on learning, guided mentorship, and real-world projects, students discover how to merge purpose, platform, and profit responsibly. Each week builds toward a completed digital brand portfolio and a readiness plan for college, NIL, or entrepreneurship.
A 6-week personal branding, tech, and AI experience that gives students ages 9–college the skills to own their name, protect their legacy, and lead with confidence.
I’m Carmen Esteves — Creative Director, Professor, and Founder of The Esteves Creative Group and Nxt Gen Creators™.
I believe real change starts when students stop waiting to “be ready” and start building now.
After visiting schools across the country, I noticed something missing — programs that not only inspire for a moment, but equip for a lifetime.
That’s why I built Nxt Gen Creators™ — to prepare the next generation to lead from identity, not circumstance.
We merge creativity, technology, and purpose to teach students how to build their digital brand, protect their name, and prepare for real-world influence — before opportunity arrives.
