Mission & Focus Areas

Mission Statement: The foundation's mission is to promote thoughtful analysis, discussions, and actions that will change present-day existence. The foundation addresses significant disparities affecting the Black community, which represents 13% of the American population while comprising 40% of the prison population and 27% of people living in poverty. These disparities extend across education, healthcare, and other social aspects.

The foundation's approach is grounded in the Ghanian concept of Sankofa—"go back and get it"—symbolized by a bird with its head turned backward while its feet face forward, carrying a precious egg. The foundation envisions this egg as the original history of Black people as the creators of mathematics and architects of civilizations, rather than a history defined by slavery.

Vision: The foundation's vision is that the Black community will embrace a journey toward a more prosperous and equitable future through active involvement and investment in addressing economic and social issues.
