"When Dominique Paloma Bible talks about choice, her eyes light up. Choice, she insists, is at the core of education. Not worksheets, not tests, not standardized curriculum - but the power to choose. That belief has shaped her life, from the moment she dropped out of high school to the creation of her Brooklyn-based education initiative, Off Da Beaten Path ."
"Since then, Off Da Beaten Path has worked with 36 learners of all ages around the world. The program is self-directed, built on one-on-one mentorship. Learners set their own goals, and Off Da Beaten Path helps guide them. Though the program has expanded globally, Brooklyn remains its heart. Bible has mentored students she met at neighborhood festivals, collaborated with homeschoolers in Bay R"
Dominique Paloma Bible places learner choice at the center of education, rejecting worksheets, tests, and standardized curriculum in favor of empowerment. Dropping out of high school catalyzed a nontraditional path into tutoring GED students in East New York and later formal study. Bible earned bachelor's and master's degrees in community education from Goddard College. In 2020 a former student requested talent management, becoming Off Da Beaten Path's first learner. The program now serves 36 learners worldwide through self-directed learning and one-on-one mentorship. Learners set their own goals while mentors provide guidance. Brooklyn remains the program's home and community base.
