Our Mission & Vision
We believe that true equity can be achieved as we seek the heart of God regarding restoration and racial reconciliation, but no matter your faith or spiritual beliefs, every person can contribute to creating a more equitable society.
Our desire is to come alongside schools, churches, organizations, corporations, families and communities in order to help them create and sustain cultures and practices that support racial equality.
A Word
From Our Founder
” I believe that with God, we can significantly close the equity gap in America on person at a time, one heart at a time.
When the hearts of men and women change and reshape in a way that makes room for God’s desire for equity for all, the impacts of those heart changes can be seen and felt in our families, in our communities, and in all the places we lead and influence.
So let’s all get to work changing our hearts so that every human lives feeling equal in the sight of God and man.”
– Deanna Mason
