Healing
We're letting go of the pain we've been carrying from the trauma in our past.
Peace
We're equipping our people with powerful weapons of reconciliation.
Community
We're developing safe spaces for the African diaspora to grow and prosper.
To forgive is not just to be altruistic. It is the best form of self-love.
- Desmond Tutu
