AWỌ on Clubhouse

Description

AWỌ is a nonprofit organization that offers inspiring programs and community workshops that bring people together across racial, cultural and economic divides to unpack and share a vast array of different human experiences, as well as, create new opportunities for collective upward mobility. AWỌ was founded in 2020 by Folake Phillips, a Yoruba princess from Osun State in Nigeria, in response to the death of George Floyd at the hands of the Minnesota police and the national street protests that erupted for Black Lives Matter in the midst of the US COVID-19 pandemic. AWỌ is the word for skin​ and also color​ in the Yoruba language of Nigeria.
OUR MISSION
AWỌ aspires to better understand the significance color, class and culture have on individual stories being heard within society. With a focus on innovative programs and educational resources, we engage people of all shades to share, learn and create a more complete and accurate narrative of Huemanity. It is our Mission to create opportunities for those whose stories have been historically unheard or misrepresented.
OUR VISION
The Vision of AWỌ is to achieve a more inclusive and representative world by focusing on the unheard stories of individuals within society to build a more collective understanding about ourselves. We believe that a more complete story of Huemanity creates accurate cultural narratives within society and translates into more inclusion and opportunities in local schools, workplaces and government agencies.
