Our mission is one of urgency, focus, and dedication. As W.E.B. Dubois shared, “today is the seed time, now are the hours of work, and tomorrow comes the harvest and the playtime.” What we do at Concrete Rose can influence generations to come. I’m grateful to work with people and organizations disrupting traditional cycles of inequality by increasing access and opportunity.
