“Know that with clear vision, focused intention and a strategic action plan, a unified group of committed citizens can transform their neighborhood to create a safe, beautiful, empowered community. With clear vision and commitment to share your gifts and live your divine purpose with courage, creativity and community, consciously liberated women and men can collectively co-create a world that works for all.” 

– Harriet Tubman Wright
