We claim happiness, leisure, and celebration as pillars of our existence. We reject the necessity of struggle as our defining narrative, deliberately centering spaces of community, levity, black expression, and pure recreation as a source of communal restoration.

We understand that Black people are not a monolith and therefore, practice intentional honor and equity in all human interactions. We recognize the inherent dignity, diverse perspectives, and unique lived experiences of every member in our community, committing to open communication and a culture where everyone is treated with absolute fairness.

We honor, preserve, and elevate the rich tapestry of the global Black Diaspora through a social calendar of events centered around black cultural heritage. We celebrate the similarities and differences that comprise our vast culture, ensuring our history is celebrated in the present and maintained and shared with future generations. 

We recognize that we are a tribal and familial people, communal by nature and we build and sustain an intentional village that bridges geographic, generational, and economic divides. Recognizing that our collective strength lies in our interconnectedness, we foster a deep sense of belonging and look out for one another's well-being.

We intentionally direct our capital and influence to circulate resources and contribute to building sustainable wealth within our community. From sourcing vendor services to championing member-owned enterprises, we circulate ouxr economic and social capital locally to foster long-term collective autonomy.

We proactively design and maintain spaces that prioritize emotional, psychological, and physical safety. Through these clear community values, transformative accountability, and restorative practices, we strive to actively mitigate conflict and ensure our gatherings remain safe spaces of levity, and restoration for all members. We choose to protect us, even from us, because all of us are not for us either.
