My Community SPEAKS is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering communities of color through storytelling, resource sharing, and holistic wellness. Founded on the belief that every voice matters and every story has the power to inspire change, we are proudly located in Detroit’s Midwest Neighborhood affectionately known as The Old West Side.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support and promote enterprise, individual autonomy, knowledge, and sustainability. By amplifying lived experiences and fostering access to tools for growth, we aim to create pathways to long-term success.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is rooted in nurturing the resilience of both residents and small business owners. We work to foster communities that are not only more harmonious and healthy, but also financially sustained. Every story shared, resource offered, and connection made is a step toward stronger, more empowered neighborhoods.
We understand that communities of color often face systemic challenges that can impact well-being, economic stability, and personal development. My Community SPEAKS serves as a platform to elevate local voices, champion inclusive narratives, and support grassroots solutions that bring real change.
