Mission
Uplifting historically marginalized communities to a place of greater self sufficiency by unifying communities of color in order to reduce the effects of systemic racism.

Engaged Communities
We understand that in order to shift the narrative for people of color who reside in our urban communities, our community must be engaged and invested.
Emerging Communities
We know that by supporting emerging leaders of color to achieve their true potential, our community can be transformed by their leadership and wisdom.
