Who is MÁS?
Our organization’s central work is to promote Black pride and power and fight anti-Blackness with one of the Black community’s most powerful weapons/tools: Art. We highlight the historical and cultural contributions of the African descendants from Abya Yala (Latin America), for social change and racial equity. We believe this is one of the first steps, contributing to the pride and well-being of our communities through The Arts to engage in long-lasting work, from the inside out!
