CommunityBuild Ventures Cooperative

The CommunityBuild Ventures Cooperative began with 9 active consultants that center on the Akan Adinkra symbol, boa me na me mmoa wo, which means “Help me and let me help you.” It is a symbol of cooperation and interdependence. Each month a member of the CommunityBuild Ventures Cooperative shares their experience and wisdom in our blog. We believe learning from one another’s experiences is key to fully understanding and creating greater impact.

Our cooperative members come from many walks of life and bring their unique perspectives to share with our listeners. They are innovative, collaborative, and insightful. It’s our goal to create a space where individuals come from businesses, organizations, and institutions to leverage their expertise in order to increase our community impact. It’s their commitment that allows CommunityBuild Ventures to make strides towards racial equity.

Our team has grown to over twenty members, all with the same goal in mind, to help leaders and organizations learn about and practice racial equity with healing and restoration at the center.In everything we do, we intentionally focus on healing and self-care because we believe they are necessary for ultimate liberation. Instead of being a peripheral value, we’ve made healing and self-care pillars of our organization and encouraged a culture of self and community love. Our healing justice-centered practices are how transformation happens.
