JBY ACADEMY LEGACY

"My Mom created JBY Academy for creative kids like you and me!"

JBY Academy & Performing Arts Conservatory was created by Mahogany Reynolds-Clarke (known in the arts industry as Mahogany Reynolds), out of love and devotion for her sonshine, DJ, an emerging filmmaker, musician, actor, photographer and zoologist. DJ is a consistent Honor Roll student with a thirst for learning new things and creative expression. His joy of learning and endless creative energy inspires Ms. Mahogany in her development of JBY Academy & Performing Arts Conservatory. The "little sister" nonprofit organization of Just Be You Performing Arts, LLC; which Ms. Mahogany created from the ground up with a dollar and dream, in 2013. 


For over a decade, she has made a positive impact on the lives of hundreds of children and teens from all walks of life. For Ms. Mahogany, JBY is not a passion project. It is her purpose project! Most of all, JBY Academy is audition-free. We don't eliminate kids. We elevate kids!


JBY Academy has emerged into a nonprofit organization with a mission to provide affordable, accessible and excellent arts education and academic enrichment to children grades K-12. Plus, career planning and self-development for young adults.


We invite you to become a part of the JBY Academy legacy because the best is yet to come!
