Nyamwange Foundation Presents: Birthright Africa Scholarship Gala

When we established our foundation, our mission was to improve urban cities one child at a time. However, we soon realized that to drive significant change, we must empower black and brown children to embrace their identities. That's why this summer, we are taking scholars to Africa to delve deeper into their history.
The focus of our non-profit has evolved, guided by this manifesto (see below):
To be Black in America is to yearn for freedom. Our history has left us untethered from our roots, institutionally underserved, and financially unprepared to succeed.
At Nyamwange, we say: no more.
We're giving a generation of children back their cultural identity. Equipping future leaders to serve their communities, Framing personal finance in the context of liberation. And inspiring a population of consumers to become a community of ownership.
We believe there is a path to Black joy. To Black liberation. To Black excellence. With every passing day, we are working to uncover it, chart it, and teach others how to walk it with compassion.
Disadvantage has been our inheritance. In serving one another, we will pave the road to our redemption.
By being rooted in where we began, we inform where we go next. Our heritage is so much richer than our suffering - it is our strength. We bend the power of our past to secure our future.
Some day, we will be the ancestors of our children's children.
We are determined to leave them a legacy."
