We are a 501(c)3 Not-for-Profit Organization dedicated to bringing an end to social injustice and addressing mental health for marginalized communities by supporting and giving them a voice through our media platforms, championing their cause, equipping them with the necessary information, education, and empowerment with which they can navigate their peculiar situations.
We engage our vulnerable population, identify and address challenges that adversely impact their ability to live quality lives, and advocate for them. We design and implement projects targeted at enlightening and keeping them informed while intervening directly by creating opportunities for empowerment through which they can successfully overcome their challenges.
In emergency situations like natural disasters, pandemics, food / water safety, gun violence / mass shootings and protests, to mention but a few, we employ every available means of communication to educate, inform, and enlighten our target population with the goal of limiting the damage in given situations, keeping the peace, and helping save lives. We identify and communicate available resources that could help the communities we serve stay safe and well.
COVID-19 INTERVENTION
The Coronavirus pandemic and its impact on communities brought to light, the need to go the extra mile in reaching out to our vulnerable population. In addition to enlightening and keeping them informed on how to stay safe, we commenced a community outreach program through which we directly touch lives in the communities we serve. This is in the bid to address the problem of food insecurity. At these outreaches, we give out groceries, clothing, and other needed items to members of the community. Our food outreach program commenced in Bronx, New York where we partner with local businesses and our faith-based partner, RCCG Chapel of the Great Restorer to distribute nutritious food to members of the Hunts Point community. We have since expanded our reach to Westchester County.
In July, 2022, we signed a contract with “Feeding Westchester” to distribute food to members of the Elmsford community in Westchester. Every last Saturday of the month, we distribute food to members of the community. This is in addition to our food outreach in the Bronx.
We engage the younger generation in the arts and cultural activities which gives them outlet for bottled up feelings and potentially help reduce depression, give them purpose, and help manage mental health cases.
Ify Ezinwa oversees programs, funding, and execution of all our projects. She is invested in enlightening and empowering the minoritized population as well as mentoring young girls from marginalized communities. Ify strongly believes that every person; young and old should be encouraged to attain their full potential and be the best they can possibly be.
