Unity is Our Motivation.

UMOJA = UNITY

Unity

We strive to unite as many Black and African American clubs, organizations, businesses, churches, and individuals (while still maintaining their autonomous mission) to utilize and leverage our own resources, in addition to external resources.

Community

We aim to cultivate a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment within our communities for the betterment of the underserved, underrepresented, marginalized, and those whom the effects of prejudice, bias, and systemic racism have impacted.

Empowerment

We seek to amass our collective resources to hold ourselves AND local, regional, and national elected officials and leaders accountable to ensure a high quality of life for Blacks and African Americans in every aspect of everyday living.
