In the spring of 2021 we conceived a project called the Black Excellence Fund & Storytelling Project (BEFSP). It is our goal to provide material support and a public storytelling platform directly to young (under 35) Black and BIPOC individuals across all disciplines who are striving to embody excellence against the tides of systemic oppression.
The project’s mission is twofold:
To provide financial support–in the form of two unrestricted charitable grants, awarded in our inaugural year to Keagan Supple and Shawtel Allen-Burdette. We closed nominations on May 31 for 2022 participants. Check our social media to stay up to date on this year’s recipients!
To provide a platform for community engagement - we engage spaces that center the authentic voices and experiences of diverse NH youth. In doing so, we stand against those traditions of excellence and success that have marginalized youth. We stand in solidarity, listening to young people as they redefine what it means to excel in today’s world.
