“This work is to heal and transform the legacies of colonization, genocide, and patriarchy, and to do the work our ancestors and future generations are calling us to do.”
- Cece Carpio

  • INVESTMENT IN THOSE WHO LIFT THEIR VOICES TO HELP OTHERS LEARN TO SPEAK IN THE LANGUAGE OF THEIR ANCESTORS IS A FOUNDATIONAL STRATEGY ESSENTIAL TO THE BROAD CULTURAL SHIFT UNDERWAY.

    We steward the past and the future!

  • "WE ARE GRIOTS. WE RECALL THE PAST TO EMPOWER AND SHAPE THE FUTURE. WE HOLD THE WISDOM OF OUR PEOPLE AND CARRY OUR STORIES FORWARD. WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS OF A NEW DAY."
