Join me in supporting a good cause for my birthday fundraiser this year--the Black Power Blueprint project! I'm raising money for APEDF (their current project is the Black Power Blueprint) and your contribution will make a huge impact. Whether you donate $5 or $500, every little bit goes a long way. I appreciate any support that you can contribute to this much needed black community-led economic self-reliance project that is uplifting and transforming the black community in St. Louis, MO. I've included more info below about this amazing non-profit that you are supporting when you donate! 👇👇👇

African People’s Education and Defense Fund (APEDF) is the baddest nonprofit on the planet with programs to address the grave disparities in economic development, health and education faced by African people and defend the human and civil rights of the African community!

Want to support positive economic development and transform African communities and li...ves this holiday season? The Black Power Blueprint projects of APEDF are transforming abandoned properties and rebuilding African prosperity in St. Louis, Missouri!

APEDF just renovated an abandoned building for the Uhuru House African community center which has quickly become vital organizing center and venue for community events.

APEDF demolished the condemned buildings next door to the Uhuru House and created an outdoor event space where the Halloween Haunted Night was held, a community garden is in progress and the One Africa! One Nation! Marketplace will begin in the spring to build community commerce and incubate black businesses.

The third phase of Black Power Blueprint projects is creation of the Uhuru Jiko Community Commercial Kitchen with Uhuru Bakery/Cafe and future home of the African Independence Workforce Program providing food business skills, work experience and housing for previously incarcerated black men and women.
