Nonprofit
Black People Forward (BPF) provides culturally tailored programs focused on promoting Social, Emotional, and Financial Wellness for Black Millennials and Gen Zs empowering them to propel themselves forward in life.
Founded by Lisa C. Williams in 2020, Black People Forward (BPF) is a fiscally sponsored non profit organization dedicated to promoting emotional and financial wellness among Black GenZs and Millennials. We achieve this through providing Dope experiences (programs), exposure to new environments, and support for overall well-being.
