our mission
Mi Gente organizes culturally curated events for the community in order to support and spotlight BIPOC & AAPI entrepreneurs and creatives in spaces where they have historically been overlooked.
our vision
Mi Gente aims to create safe spaces for our community, by our community where we, as BIPOC & AAPI creatives and entrepreneurs, can connect, network, and pour into one another through our talents and passions.
OUR CORE VALUES
inclusivity
Regardless of how you identify, we believe each individual has their own experiences and perspectives. We want to invite and encourage people of all backgrounds to contribute and shape our community, together.
"If they don't give you a seat at the table,
bring a folding chair."
— Shirley Chisholm
compassion
As humans, we are constantly learning and growing. Because making mistakes is inevitable, we insist everyone practices compassion in our spaces to show grace for ourselves and one another.
“We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.”
— Malcolm X
empowerment
We all have our own unique set of skills and knowledge. We want to encourage our community to own what makes them extraordinary and step into their power!
"If you are always trying to be normal, you will never know how amazing you can be."
— Maya Angelou
