About Us
Why We Exist
There is an abundance of problems in America, and racism is one of the biggest ones. When George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmad Aubry, Elijah McClain, and countless others’ eyes were forced closed, ours were forced open. With the racial tension in society today, we want to focus on connecting minority communities because together, we can build each other up and make a difference in the world!
We are a North Carolina-based nonprofit organization empowering minority communities and improving the lives of those within them. We believe that more can be accomplished together rather than separately. The change starts with us!
