Making Impact

***‘There is so much that isn’t being told about our history, now I see why Boston is the way it is…, I must do more’***

Research & Development

Since our inception in 2015, the Afrimerican Culture Initiative (ACI) has worked tirelessly, in collaboration with community partners, to provide data-driven, culturally relevant education to the City of Boston. Our work spans advocacy in rezoning, affordable housing, and community education, ensuring that underserved communities have the knowledge and tools to combat displacement and close equity gaps.

We are committed to meeting communities where they are, delivering impactful research through workshops, digital storytelling, branded events, and immersive experiences tailored to diverse audiences. Whether through dynamic heritage tours, powerful documentaries, or youth-driven media, we strive to engage those often left out of critical conversations.

Through education, storytelling, and advocacy, we build community, repair harm, and promote genuine inclusivity for Boston’s future.

Equitable Urban Planning

Understanding our infrastructural history will help us in creating a Boston that serves everyone.

Afrimerican Academy

The Afrimerican Academy is dedicated to empowering Boston’s youth (14-24 yrs) through culturally relevant education, leadership training, and restorative project management. Our programs provide hands-on experiences in tour guide training, digital storytelling, and advocacy, equipping students with skills in Cultural Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (CDEI), executive math and writing, and social media content creation.

Through immersive field trips, historical research, and community engagement, students gain the knowledge and confidence to become changemakers, preserving history while shaping the future. Join us in ‘nurturing the #Culture2Thrive’ —one story at a time.
