510media Hope Foundation

Entrepreneurs and creatives are the backbone of Black wealth, cultural well-being, innovation and growth.

The 510media Foundation was founded to address the resource gaps in Black entrepreneurial and creative endeavors. Black culture is full of powerful yet untapped resources, and we are committed to helping facilitate solutions that address Black economic challenges.  

These solutions not only address the gap in Black income, but the efficacy of those solutions to impact Black culture, and community well-being.

We can be a catalyst for a pipeline of businesses and ideas that can improve economic mobility of Black families, communities, and individuals. 

By investing in structural support systems, we are setting out to reframe the belief systems that negatively impact Black economic growth and culture. And in reframing these belief systems, we are setting out to nurture and amplify prosperity in our communities.

“We can continue to beg for change or we can change ourselves; we can grow the quality of our thinking and build forward-thinking solutions for our collective future...We can save us.” 

—Nana Kofi Nti 

“Gaps in wealth between Black and white households reveal the effects of accumulated inequality and discrimination, as well as differences in power and opportunity that can be traced back to this nation’s inception.” 

— THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION

But the Black American challenge is psychological and cultural as much as it is economic. WE NEED HOPE.

We aim to address Black challenges by demonstrating an integrated approach that will:  

  1. Challenge African American reality distortions  

  2. Develop Emotional Quotient 

  3. Introduce Behavioral Economics 

  4. Integrate a strategy matrix based on Marketing and Branding principles 

  5. Explore entrepreneur mental models 

  6. Address trauma and depression in a culturally informed workshop  

FOUNDATIONAL COURSES
