Mission & Vision
Black Yarn aims to shine a light on systemic harms, foster equity, and connect Black experiences with those of all Americans through storytelling, research & collaboration.
“Our Story Is Your Story Too,” reflects our belief that the unifying thread of storytelling can create a shared commitment to equity, building a legacy that benefits everyone.
Fuel our Mission
Housing does not exist in isolation. It sits at the center of a web of interconnected systems—education, health, jobs, civic engagement, infrastructure, narrative, safety, environment, and financial access. The stories systems tell become the threads that define place.
At Black Yarn, we explore these systems through storytelling, research, and collaboration—examining how they intersect, where inequities persist, and where innovation is possible. Your donation helps us convene leaders, elevate lived experience, develop community-informed research, and pilot solutions that strengthen the entire ecosystem surrounding housing.
When you give, you’re not funding a single program. You’re investing in a systems-level approach to reimagining what equitable communities can look like.
