Next Narrative for Black America
The Next Narrative for Black America campaign aspires to shift the discussion of racial equity from one based in denigrating distortions to one centered on the Black community’s aspirations and contributions to society. “We the Black People” must declare independence from deeply stigmatized renditions of who people say we are and love ourselves for who we truly are. To do so, we must adopt an agenda that honors our legacy, manifests the promise of all we aspire to be, and rooted in L.O.V.E. We must:
Love our culture, ourselves, and each other
Own our financial future
Vote to protect our interests
Excel in everything we do
Love. Own. Vote. Excel. L-O-V-E. The Black LOVE Agenda. Learn More.
No stopping me now!

This program has radically enhanced the way I view my strengths and many facets of my leadership. I am not just an expert at what I am currently paid to do but an expert at being a Black woman in America, and expert at my authentic experience, and an expert in civil rights, justice, politics and more. This fellowship has seeded within me the courage to take risks and to trade the personal comfort of silence for the meaningfulness of being consequential. I will continue to speak in power and truth. There’s no stopping me now!
Awesome brotherhood of Black men

BMe has been a wonderful vehicle to connect with powerful brothers that love to work towards positive change. The BMe team, the information and the opportunity that has been shared with the leaders over the years is priceless! I am so very thankful that I can tell my grandchildren about the awesome brotherhood of black men working across the world to change our reality. I love to see my brothers shine and serve!
Useful, forward-thinking, and impactful leadership

We’re on a constant journey to improve our impact because our children deserve our best efforts. BMe Community’s asset-framing helps us to accurately project our aspirations and align our leadership accordingly. I became a BMe Fellow and introduced asset-framing to our board because it is a useful, forward-thinking, and impactful leadership tool for building a better future.
Connected by love

BMe is a family-oriented fellowship filled with positive vibes and great energy… We are not connected by blood, but yet connected by love!
An Amazing Experience

This was an amazing experience. I’m so grateful to be a part of the BMe Community. Narrative change work is so important and because we have been colonized for generations to believe disempowering narratives about ourselves and each other. In order for us to heal, we must work diligently to continually detox old mental/emotional/social poisons so that we can be rooted in the truest part of ourselves. From that place we are unstoppable. Thank you pouring on the love and activating the power!
