👋 Welcome

You’re invited to connect one on one with Fya, the visionary behind Blaq Gurl Fya. She is a 21 year traumatic brain injury survivor who turned her journey through homelessness and housing discrimination into a movement from the margins.

Now she’s building a bold new ecosystem rooted in housing justice, neurodivergent brilliance, and cultural transformation. You’re invited to help grow it.

This is part of the What You Know About... Tour, a 6 month activation reimagining how we invest in grassroots innovation and the futures we deserve.

Step 3: 📄 Volunteer One-Pager

Presented by Blaq Gurl Fya
A grassroots cultural-tech initiative building a billion-dollar neurodivergent ecosystem.

🔍 Step 1: The Problem Is Known—But the Opportunity Isn’t

You’ve seen the headlines: housing is in crisis, and equity efforts often exclude the most invisible.
But what you haven’t seen is the market opportunity hidden in plain sight.

Neurodivergent people are creators, strategists, and innovators.
And yet, housing instability, underemployment, and systemic neglect block their brilliance.

This isn’t a DEI side project.
This is the foundation for a new economy. One that centers access. And it starts here.

💡 Step 2: Meet the Blueprint—Blaq Gurl Fya

Blaq Gurl Fya is a neurodivergent, Black woman-led startup on a mission to turn pain into power and creativity into capital.

With 21.5 years of lived experience and 10 years of research, we’re activating a grassroots initiative designed to scale—from storytelling to social tech.

The vision?
A billion-dollar market rooted in media, tech, and housing innovation—built by and for neurodivergents.

📍 Step 3: Tour the Ecosystem—Where Story Becomes Strategy

We’re producing an 8-part activation series to shift narrative, data, and investment:
