🪘 We Fund Belonging, Not Bigotry

Build the Djembe App. Build Real Connection.

Recently, the world watched in disbelief as Shiloh Hendrix—caught on video calling a 5-year-old Black child a racial slur—raised over $750,000 online. Not for justice. Not for healing. But for herself.

What does it say about us when hate goes viral... and gets rewarded?

It says one thing loud and clear:
We need a better way to come together.

That’s where Djembe comes in.

🔍 What Is Djembe?

Djembe: Inspiring Inclusive Connections is more than a card deck. More than an app.

It’s a tool for real conversations. For trust. For truth.

Rooted in West African traditions of community and rhythm, Djembe invites people of all backgrounds to listen, reflect, and connect—across race, gender, faith, ability, and more.

It’s already working in homes, classrooms, and workplaces.
Now, we’re building a Djembe App to take this healing tool to the people who need it most—especially young people, teachers, facilitators, and everyday folks hungry for meaningful connection in divisive times.

⚠️ We’ve Seen What Hate Can Fund.

Imagine What Love Can Build.

If racism can raise three quarters of a million dollars, surely we can raise $75,000 to build an app that helps people talk with each other instead of about each other.

Your support will help us:

Build and launch the Djembe app
Make it free for schools and youth-serving programs
Train community facilitators to use it in healing conversations
Offer powerful tools to spark empathy, not echo chambers

💡 How You Can Help
