SELF EMPOWERMENT EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

MISSION

 Our mission is to build #GenerationalWealth by providing educational development tools and media/film/tv grants to propel budding entrepreneurs and artists from economically disinvested communities throughout the south and west of Chicago. One of the biggest barriers to entrepreneurship and creativity stems from lack of financial institutions that independent artist and entrepreneurs are higher-risk candidates for loans. We want to change that by providing more access to capital for black young artist and creatives in Chicago. In addition, increasing acting opportunities for youth and aspiring artist.

PURPOSE

is to enable individuals to reach their full potential, achieve their goals, and lead fulfilling lives. By empowering individuals to take control of their personal growth and education, we aim to equip them with the tools, skills, and knowledge needed to navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and create positive change in their lives and communities. Through self-empowerment, individuals can build confidence, resilience, and a sense of agency, allowing them to overcome obstacles and pursue their aspirations with determination and purpose.

GOAL

To focus on GROWTH within self, communities and relationships. We are here to share opportunities that will allow individuals to break into the media/film/tv  industry by providing financial assistance, industry resources, equipment,  networking hubs and acting classes that incorporates the proper elements for growing success. By fostering a culture of self-empowerment and educational development, we aim to help individuals realize their full potential, achieve their goals, and make a positive impact on their lives and communities.

OUR STORY

WE REFER TO THE ACCUMULATION OF ASSETS PASSED DOWN FROM ONE COMMUNITY TO THE NEXT.

We believe in the importance of intergenerational wealth and asset accumulation within communities. It is through the passing down of assets, whether financial, educational, or social, that communities can build upon the successes and achievements of previous generations. This transfer of resources and knowledge not only strengthens the foundation of a community but also empowers future generations to continue to grow and thrive. By recognizing and valuing the accumulation of assets passed down from one community to the next, we can foster a sense of continuity, resilience, and prosperity for all members of the community. Together, we can create a legacy of wealth and empowerment that transcends generations and creates a brighter future for all.
