  We believe that the key to our society’s preparedness for meaningful steps towards racial equity lies in the undoing of the centuries long dehumanization process at the core of our country’s collective narratives. We co-founded the Kinfolk Foundation to realize this goal. Our mission is to use the arts and emerging technology to maximize the impact and accessibility of Black, Brown and LGBTQIA+ history to inspire a more equitable future.
