Vision With Action
Mission Statement
It is not enough to just have a vision. If never acted upon it is just a vivid dream! In order for there to be manifestation of anything there must be action. Clear, concise ACTION! If vision is the vehicle, then action is the gas that propels the vision forward, bringing it to fruition. We can change the direction with momentum. We can continue to push against the current and make change happen! And when forward motion is hampered for any reason, we hold the line until we can press forward again, collectively and individually!
The mission is simple:
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. Connect with others doing the same thing. Repeat.
That's it. That's the mission. We don't have to agree on all fronts or points, we just have to do the work and stand united on all fronts.
Are you down? Good!
Let's get it!

WE ARE ACTIVE WITH THE TEAM/FAMILYY BUILDING
Who We Are
Vision With Action is an entity that has been given a utopian idea of UNITY, GROWTH, and BETTERMENT for our communities. We are of strong belief that Pro-Black does not mean Anti-White, however, we are fully aware of the fact that time, attention, talent and resources must FIRST be applied to home! How and WHY would you take all that you have to offer and apply it towards fixing your neighbor's porch when your own porch is in utter disrepair? For this reason, we are UNAPOLOGETICALLY FOR OUR PEOPLE, FIRST!
We are Black Owned and operated. We are and support Black Entrepreneurship. We are fully vested in doing what is needed to see our communities, our men and women, our babies THRIVE because they are being acknowledged, nurtured, supported and empowered.
What we propose is not a new concept. Buy Black. Protect the little ones. Spread knowledge. Honor our Kings and Queens. Honor SELF. Pay it forward. Be GREAT! We are one of many attempting to bring forth these ideals and create a new reality. But it's scattered! It's all over the place with no real connection! We here at Vision With Action want to change this. There is strength in numbers! We don't want you to change what you do. If it is working for you, DO YOU! What we want is a family, a hub that we all know to check when a product or service is needed. We want businesses at the ready that can be called upon when it's time to make moves in your city! We want individuals that see a need and find ways to meet that need.
If you are building, let us know, we want to help! Our communities do not have to be as divided as they are. We can easily come together to foster self reliance, effect political change, bolster a thriving presence in the arts that does not need the approval of others or have to exist under the constant threat of appropriation or censorship. One is no more important than the other! All of it lends itself to our greatness. It's ok to have a difference of opinion. It's ok to agree to disagree. If we were all the same, doing the same things, life would be so boring. We are a diverse group within ourselves! Bring what makes you YOU to the table. We are so much stronger TOGETHER. We look forward to working and building with each and every one of you!

The Poetic Mantra
Hold The Line
They are lined up each and every day
Sometimes more than once a day
They congregate
They land and stay
Right there
Up on the line.
The hum of the traffic on the interstate
Does not frighten them as they
Circle around, looking for space
And make
Room for one another
On the line.
The certain death they are sure to face
should they tumble or twist or start to sway
Is of no consequence as they
are sure and steady
on the line.
Perched silently, not a single sound made
They
stand as sentinels, guarding unseen entryways
each and every portal protected as they
Stand and hold the line.
A flutter of wings every now and again
As one soldier leaves post and the next flitters in.
Jostling slightly the one beside him.
All understanding that room must be made
Concessions given, with love and grace.
As they stand and hold the line.
A passerby, an old acquaintance of mine
living life fast, having seen better times
On hustle each day, making sure to swing by
and offer me this or that, for a price.
Although I see shame when I look in his eyes
In this moment, I know the shame's got to ride
for the hunt is on ten, there's no room for pride
and that's when, with love, I must hold the line
