Our vision is to mobilize a future that preserves our cultural heritage and challenges systemic barriers to pursue equity, inclusion, and collective unity.
​G.E.M believes in the power of heart collective work. 
We not only want to learn from the past 
but validate our place not only in America,
but in the world. 
Together we can bring light to change-makers while preserving the beauty of
all our cultures
to build community.


​"Cultural Heritage is just as much about the present and the future: about how culture is embroiled in contemporary moral controversies, and about what our cultural legacy will be."

Social Justice LIT in the
​time of COVID-19
  • ​Our girls are currently reading Celia C Pérez's, "The First Rule of Punk and Majorie Agosín's, "I Lived on Butterfly Hill."
  • "The First Rule of Punk" pulls so powerfully at the heartstrings of all those who have ever struggled with forming their identity as a minoritized person in the U.S.
  • "I Lived on Butterfly Hill" encourages youth to be participants of social justice while preserving cultural values and reinventing cultural diplomacy in a way that solidifies transparency and collective action.
