OUR MISSION
The mission of Blacklining Foundation is to reverse the negative effects of Redlining by addressing the racial injustices, inequities and inequalities inherent of the discriminatory practice of Redlining.
Blacklining Foundation operates under the 3 pillars of Health, Wealth & Legacy. We develop and initiate programs and initiatives that have the objective of Breaking Generational Curses created by Redlining
OUR JOURNEY
2019
COVID-19 Polarized the inequities and inequalities in black and brown communities. We began our investigation and inquiries on the causes of these Social Disorders. There was a direct connection between communities that were previously Redlined and communities still reeling for poverty, illness and social disorganization. Using the map, we were able to identify these areas.
