VALUES, BELIEFS, AND PRINCIPLES
DECOLONIZATION
Decolonization is defined as the rediscovery and recovery of oneself and our ancestral practices. Collectively we work to decolonize ourselves, the community, and the systems and institutions we work and live within.
JOY
Collectively we seek joy through the reclamation of traditions and culture. We honor and empower individuals to discover their own definition of joy.
LIBERATION
We define liberation as having autonomy and power over our own lives and futures.
JOY
Joy, self-care, and celebration are integral parts of how we sustain ourselves and practice the liberation we are seeking.
HEALING
We create and cultivate spaces to collectively heal and experience the fullness of joy and abundance.
ADVOCACY & POLICY CHANGE
We advocate for equity and belonging to change systems through coalition building, community-focused initiatives, and empowering BIPOC community members to achieve collective liberation.
