About Kahlil Greene

I’m Kahlil Greene, aka the Gen Z Historian, and one week after my 19th birthday, I became the first Black student body president in Yale’s 318-year history. Now, I’m a Peabody-winning edutainer with followers and views across TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn, where I share history lessons that unpack the injustices shaping our world today. I write History Can’t Hide, a newsletter uncovering buried and whitewashed histories, and I just premiered my first documentary series with National Geographic, bringing these stories to the screen. Beyond social media, I speak to schools, nonprofits, and corporations about Gen Z’s evolving standards for inclusion—a topic I’ve also explored in my Harvard Business Review op-ed. I’m a 2x Emmy-nominated host on Nickelodeon’s Nick News, and my work has been covered by The New York Times, Forbes, and even the White House. I was also recognized on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list, highlighting my work at the intersection of education, media, and social impact. Want to collaborate?
