“We hustle with all we have but lead with the heart that is within.”
OUR MISSION.
Here at Heart & Hustle Academy, our mission is to combat social and economic disparities, racial hatred, and violence in order to boost justice and equality for our black, indigenous, underserved, and underrepresented communities. Our goal is to empower, guide and connect our local historical communities and neighborhoods by providing access to resources, services, and opportunities that will pave a path for a successful future.
OUR VISION.
Our vision is to build strength within our underserved and underrepresented communities by cultivating healthy habits and skills through community engagement, enrichment opportunities, and culturally connected education in hopes of further advancing equity and social justice.
OUR VALUES.
We base our programs and services on culturally responsive practices and principles. These culturally responsive practices allow us to bridge the gap for our underrepresented and underserved populations, allowing us the ability to develop meaningful relationships and inclusivity for all.
We highly value and celebrate our BIPOC communities, which is why we strive to create an equal opportunity. For us, culturally responsive practices are about more than just race; it’s about understanding how experiences and cultures impact our communities' growth, identity, interconnections, and diversity.
By shining light to those around us even through uncomfortable and hard topics, we are challenging the status quo. We’re bringing different perspectives to the way we think and do.
If there is any time to do this, the time is now.
