The Hawk Foundation for Research and Education in African Culture dedicates itself to the promotion of education, holistic health and trauma healing in the African American community, with recognition that when one is healed it touches those around them. We actively work to empower our community to develop solutions for educational disparity, mass incarceration, economic and political development. We engage the community through West African culture. We provide services for the community via educational seminars, lectures, and workshops promoting culturally competent forms of education and creating safe spaces for the community to gather.
