Help Us Keep Afri-Soul Thriving!

Afri-Soul Education Center and Marketplace is much more than just a space—it's a cultural cornerstone, a thriving small business incubator, and the heart of Black culture in Eastlake Village. Under the leadership of Dr. Darlene Little, Afri-Soul serves as a dynamic, multi-generational hub that empowers communities, fosters economic growth, and drives civic engagement.

Recently, we've seen an incredible surge in activity and use, but with that growth comes unexpected costs—particularly in utilities, which have increased dramatically. We need to raise $8,000 by next month to keep the lights on and an additional $125,000 to support the 50 businesses that call Afri-Soul home for the next 6 months.

These funds will help us continue providing space and resources for these amazing organizations, which are already working tirelessly to impact the community. Unfortunately, many of these businesses have already committed to their budgets for the year, and this unforeseen expense has created a real challenge.

We believe in the power of Afri-Soul and know that with your help, we can ensure that this space remains a vibrant center for culture, growth, and community. Your contribution will make all the difference.

Will you join us in keeping Afri-Soul’s doors open and thriving?
