A Space for Culture, Community & Action *
Know Us creates space for people to explore the stories, perspectives, and possibilities that shape Black communities across the country. Whether you’re engaging with us online or joining a gathering in your city, you’ll find connection, context, and community that help you move from curiosity to clarity to contribution—at a pace that feels real and sustainable.
Our network includes cultural storytelling, local activations, curated meetups, and emerging tools that help you deepen your understanding of place and purpose. However you engage—with conversation, exploration, reflection, or action—you’ll find offerings designed to ground you in history, expand your relationships, and support your impact journey year-round.
People come to Know Us because they want to feel connected—to themselves, to others, and to the communities they care about. You don’t need expertise, a title, or a specific background. Just curiosity, openness, and the desire to grow. Whether you’re learning, leading, returning, or beginning again, this network meets you where you are and moves with you as you evolve.
Know Us is a cultural and civic network for people who want to feel more grounded, more connected, and more aligned—in themselves, in community, and in the world around them.
Ready for more?
Connection, context, and community - woven into every touchpoint.
Know Us is more than a single gathering or moment. It’s an ongoing cultural and civic network designed to help you explore, learn, connect, and take meaningful next steps wherever you are.
Across cities and throughout the year, we offer opportunities that bring history, culture, and community into clearer focus—while supporting your growth and grounding you in a sense of shared purpose.
Here’s what you can expect across the network:
Curated cultural storytelling that brings history and context to life
Opportunities to explore cities through people, place, and narrative
Connections with others who care about purpose, culture, and community
Local touchpoints and meetups that deepen understanding and build relationships
Tools, prompts, and guided reflections to help you identify aligned next steps
A growing national network of people committed to building a more connected future
Whether you’re stepping into this work for the first time or expanding the journey you’ve already begun, the Know Us network offers pathways that meet you where you are and move with you as you grow.
Too often, we move through communities without truly seeing them - or seeing ourselves in them. Know Us exists to bridge that gap. We believe understanding history, connecting to culture, and engaging with community shouldn’t be separate experiences. They should live together - in ways that feel authentic, accessible, and grounded.
This network is designed for people who want to grow, learn, reflect, and contribute alongside others who care about what’s possible. Whether you’re here to find clarity, build relationships, or explore deeper purpose, Know Us invites you to do that with context, care, and community.

Where We’ve Been
Since 2021, Know Us has connected people to the stories, institutions, and cultural stewards shaping cities across the country - including Tulsa, Charleston, Detroit, New Orleans, and Atlanta.
Each city deepens our understanding of Black history, identity, and belonging - and continues to shape the growing network we’re building together.
