ABOUT US
With the renewed support we’ve seen for the Civil Rights movement, many of us have asked – what’s next?
How can we actively work towards the betterment of our people so that, one day, we won’t need to ask to be treated fairly?
How do we get our own seat at the table?
Better yet – how do we make our own table?
For me, this starts with collectively building a highly skilled network of black people.
There are a few ways of achieving this:
- Teaching financial literacy
- Training someone to learn your craft
- Acting as a Mentor
- Assisting with access to networks/opportunities
It takes a village to raise a child. A community.
For those who see themselves as having gained some form of success in life – it was as a result of lessons from, and support (or exploit) of community.
Good or bad, our interaction with our community has influenced our decisions.
From this (pretty long-winded) “what’s next” – ASATA was born.
An online community – made for us, by us – committed to education and mentorship of the Black community.
Whether it’s professional, creative or trade – by sharing knowledge, we can help others gain access to opportunities they never thought possible.
