Goals:

Education
Our focus will be to shed light on the rich and diverse minorities' culinary heritage and build awareness around the hospitality industry's lack of diversity in menu offerings.

Economic Development
We will partner actively with New American and African diaspora hospitality businesses that seek to bridge the food gap in our community. Culturally affirming cuisines represent an untapped niche market that will create sustainable economic growth in our diverse communities.

Advocacy
To build a proactive partnership with the hospitality industry and community organizations to create forums for the growth of minority food and beverage businesses.

Values:

A Voice for Change

We are committed to advocating for underrepresented communities and striving for equity and positive social change within the hospitality business and throughout our city.
