Hi, I’m Reggie Jenkins
I am a speaker, author, educator/school director, non-profit executive director, and ACT strategist. My passion has always been guiding and supporting young individuals on their life journeys.
I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Statistics.
In 2003, I established UUNIK Academy Inc. in Knoxville, Tennessee. Our mission is to assist in the holistic development of African-American youth in order to produce responsible adults. We have worked with over 4,800 youth, between the ages of 5 and 17.
UUNIK established various programs including ACT Prep Sessions (2018). The purpose of these sessions is to supply successful testing strategies for the ACT as well as prepare the students for collegiate life. In the past 5 years, ACT Prep Sessions served over 500 youth locally and nationwide. On average, our students improved their ACT scores by 4 points over a 12-month span.
In 2021, I embarked on a new chapter by opening the STEAMI Learning Institute, a private elementary school, tutoring center, and technology hub dedicated to enriching the lives of African-American children.
