Our mission
Ascendtials is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization specializing in critical consciousness.
We provide thoughtful, holistic, and educative tools, economic initiatives, and collaborative partnerships that use principles and practical activities to advance cultural wisdom, food equity, and sustainable community development. We seek Oneness that builds capacity and environmental care, ensuring that service is both restorative and transformative.
Through our expanded role as a Maintenance Assessment District administrator, we support local businesses, enhance public spaces, and foster inclusive economic growth that reflects the cultural integrity and wellness of the communities we serve. By blending wellness, volunteerism, and environmental stewardship, Ascendtials empowers individuals and communities to thrive while building scalable models that can be replicated across states.
Our Vision for Change
Ascendtials envisions thriving communities where wellness, cultural wisdom, and environmental stewardship are woven into everyday life.
By advancing food equity, sustainable development, and inclusive economic growth, we create spaces that honor cultural integrity and foster Oneness with nature. Through our role as a Maintenance Assessment District administrator, we strengthen local businesses, enhance public spaces, and build capacity for long‑term community resilience.
Truth and Transform
African philosophies and principles are at our core. We often turn to the wisdom of our ancestors from Kemet (the indigenous name given to the land of Egypt) to guide us. They founded a system—the seven principles of Maat—that not only imitates nature but provides a deeper understanding of our Oneness, true nature, and unity with all things in existence. It is through their teachings that we will find truth and transformation.
Systems for All
We believe that all people deserve systems that support a complete human experience. From our founding, we have worked hard to recognize and fight against the systems of inequality holding us back. But we don’t do it alone. Your support and participation in our programs is what keeps us going. For that, we say a big THANK YOU.
