    About Bean Thinking

    Bean Thinking is an independent video series about the principles and the power structures we need to create an inclusive democracy that delivers liberty and justice for all. By diving into the political science, history, psychology, and ideology behind American politics, Bean Thinking interrogates cultural myths, identifies structural causes of systemic problems, and broadens viewers’ sense of democratic imagination.

    Ahsante Bean is a video storyteller and creator of Bean Thinking. With a background in explanatory journalism, she aims to inspire critical and creative thinking, foster mutual understanding, and create community based in shared values and shared interests. Her goal is to empower ordinary people with the knowledge they need to build power, engage in healthy conflict, generate solutions, and govern themselves together.

    The development and launch of Bean Thinking was supported by the New America Us@250 Fellowship from 2023-2024. Ahsante is currently self-funding with the goal of becoming community-funded by viewers who value her work. Support her work by buying her a coffee or contributing monthly.
