Providing a different way
of seeing the world.
Horace is dedicated to helping Black Intellectuals prepare for a world that is filled with discriminatory beliefs. As someone who belongs to a group of people who have been historically oppressed (h.o.p.e.), Horace recognizes the importance of women in creating a sustainable society. He is committed to the health and well-being of Black women and creating environments that are supportive of the learning needs of children who are part of the global majority. Our goal is for the content on this site to reflect these values. Thank you and we wish you success in your endeavors.
