ASCENDtials Climate Cares Beach Cleanup Event at Silver Strand Beach

ASCENDtials is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit specializing in critical consciousness, by providing thoughtful holistic educative tools, resources, and training programs that prepare, are preventative, and instill and reinforce a deeper appreciation for self and community, a oneness that builds capacity, and environmental care. Since 2014, we have been committed to developing leaders who will chip away at the structures impeding progress to build more systems based on truth, and science, equitable, diverse, fair, and inclusive of communities that hold everyone accountable. We strongly believe in providing support by enhancing, emphasizing and reinforcing increased problem-solving skills, offering dialogical engagement within familial, academic, and community, and an ongoing relationship building with these parties to increase civic and social competency. The true intent is to bring about self-awareness and create technologies that are good and humane while sustaining constant collaboration with community businesses and leaders to strengthen and secure these ties.

ASCENDtials’ (pronounced Essentials) focus is on re-developing skills in problem-solving resulting from societal issues. And, Societal issues result from a system that imposes the Oppressor/Oppressed model and standard of life. This requires new thinking based on Knowing Thyself, knowing the true science of self, instilling and abiding by certain principles of nature to keep in balance with this knowledge to transform problem-solving abilities with Melanin in mind.

For ASCENDtials, ascending with proper tools is an ancient African way of thinking, Knowing Thyself, following natural laws and maintaining balance, applying this knowledge, and transforming systems for the benefit of all. You can’t transform the problem if you don’t focus on the system at play, which itself is flawed.

ASCENDtials has four fundamental goals:

Focusing on structures that are oppressive by design

Bringing awareness of Knowing Thyself, thy purpose and place and science of science

Creating/growing and maintain balance by adhering to and applying this knowledge

Transforming structures to ensure all are benefiting
