"At BLAC, we believe in the transformative power of cultural empowerment and economic power. There is not a lack of talent or brilliance in Black communities— we’ve lacked the systems that inspire belief and provide access to real power. Having empowered hundreds through symposiums, BLAC is leading a cultural shift—replacing bias with equity and real power.
- Founder of BLAC, TJ Harris
Reprogram the Minds.

“You don’t make progress by standing on the sidelines, whimpering and complaining. You make progress by implementing ideas."
– Shirley Chisholm
