"With every year, our beloved kinship with our bodies is diminished. We are weathering. Systems of oppression taught us to produce rather than to feel and be.
 
The good news is, we are holding within our bodies the answers to move the needle of racial justice forward.
​
Our bodies hold ancestral equity.  The ways that our ancestors lived as free people is held within our DNA. Our communities merely need the space to remember, return to and reclaim our Indigenous intelligence for its innate value. This is the principle of  Sankofa. This is the medicine we hold to heal ourselves.
 
We could write a new story, the unfinished story of our ancestors."

Our vision is to create a world where everyone can freely and authentically be themselves, with access to affordable healthcare and safe, supportive spaces for connection, belonging, and opportunity.

​

We believe in the power of empowering those most impacted by social change to lead the way.

 

By establishing fair systems and inclusive environments, we strive to restore human dignity and uplift the quality of life within the Black community.

​

Our goal is to enable those we serve to embrace their true selves, finding joy in authentic self-expression and experiencing the transformative impact of holistic well-being.

​

Through strategic investments, we are building sustainable systems and fostering their development through interconnected networks of care and support.
