Cultivate To Sprout.
Determine Your Route.

What started in 2018 as a partnership with local libraries to provide tech services to the community soon morphed into an organization known as The Bean Path. Founded by Dr. Nashlie Sephus, The Bean Path is a tech nonprofit based in Jackson, Mississippi, dedicated to bridging the digital divide. We empower individuals and organizations with the skills and resources needed to thrive in a digital world.

We are often asked what’s the inspiration behind our name—The Bean Path. The Bean Path is inspired by both technology and nature. In computer programming, a “bean” is a small piece of code that serves as a building block for creating bigger, more complex systems. At the same time, bean also brings to mind a seed—something small, but once planted, grows and takes its own path. The Bean Path blends these ideas, representing our mission to help people grow their tech skills and carve out their own journey in the world of technology.
