FACT SHEET
BMe teaches institutions and individuals to define Black people and all people by their aspirations and contributions rather than by degradations and disparities. We don’t ignore what’s wrong with situations, rather we start with what’s right with the people. Then we build their freedoms to Live, Own, Vote, and Excel (L.O.V.E.). That’s how we build equity without stigma.
BMe Community is an award-winning network of innovators, leaders, and champions who invest in aspiring communities. Through our Asset-Framing program, we train leading organizations in matters of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We also run the most remarkable fellowships for Black leaders in the nation.
We recognize that “doing our part” to build and support Black people’s freedom to Live, Own, Vote, and Excel means staying informed and repeatedly taking actions that ensure that the next narrative for Black America is one of fairness, opportunity, and justice. To learn more, visit our Pledge page.
