For 400 years, Black people have survived unspeakable trauma and dehumanization. It’s a wonder we made it this far despite the oppressive knee of systemic racism on our necks. Today, we still face many adverse societal factors where there are gaps between us and everybody else.

Thriving Black is a digital forum for open, honest discussion of practical solutions that can propel our community to reach its true potential. Social equity is essential to living while black. We must resolve to move beyond just surviving – to thriving!
