Collection: Support Our App Development
Building a Platform for Equity, Access & Amplification
We’re developing an innovative app designed to serve as a searchable database and discovery engine—spotlighting minority-owned businesses, scholarships, philanthropic initiatives, and mission-driven organizations across the U.S.
African American Excellence Information System (AAXIS)
Our Goal:
To bridge the gap between intention and access by making it easier to find, support, and engage with underrepresented communities and changemakers—starting locally and scaling nationally.
Phase One: Groundwork in Connecticut
We’ve launched the foundation of this project in our home state of Connecticut, where we’re identifying and cataloging:
- Black- and minority-owned small businesses
- Local scholarship opportunities
- Grassroots and established philanthropic efforts
- Community organizations driving change
What Comes Next:
This is just the beginning. Our next steps include:
- Community Outreach & Data Collection – Partnering with local stakeholders to build a robust, accurate directory
- User-Centered Design – Creating a digital space that is intuitive, accessible, and affirming
- Scalable Infrastructure – Laying the tech foundation to expand across cities, states, and communities
- Beta Testing & Feedback Loops – Ensuring the platform reflects real community needs
