OUR MISSION
BlackSpace works to nurture and support Black people in fields of influence that shape our social and spatial environments. We promote and protect Black communities through collaborations that strengthen Black assets. We bridge gaps between policy, people, and place to realize equity and justice. We are moving away from perfunctory forms of engagement and instead towards planning that recognizes, affirms, and amplifies Black agency.
