Mission
AWỌ Organization exists to share, amplify, and celebrate the unheard stories of diverse individuals, youth, and families. Through storytelling, advocacy, and community-centered programs, we work to build accurate cultural narratives while promoting equity, self-sufficiency, and holistic well-being within the communities we serve.
Vision
We envision a more inclusive and representative world where everyone—regardless of immigration status, ethnicity, or economic standing—has equitable access to quality care, education, and opportunities, and feels a true sense of belonging. Our vision is a future grounded in resilience, empowerment, and shared opportunity for all.

Connecting the different shades of Huemanity
“Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize.”
- Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie
There are many people with different shades of skin color, all with their own unique and often unheard stories. What would our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces or places of worship feel like if we embraced the stories of those different from ourselves?
