COMMUNITY & PURPOSE

Economic Justice


Build generational wealth in urban communities by teaching financial literacy, providing access to capital and strengthening Black/urban entrepreneurial success.

Social Justice



Our focus is to build social and political capital within the urban/Black community by investing in and advocating for social programs, education, activities, and policy reform.

Education



Help schools adapt/implement an adequate curriculum and diversify staff to better inform, equip, and support the needs of BIPOC students. We want to engage change in educational reform and aide efforts that prevent discrimination.

Change the Narrative


We intend to increase awareness of the role race plays in our history, not cover it up. We plan to drive a deeper understanding of the decisions, actions, and consequences of racism and other forms of discrimination and inequality in our everyday lives.
