Mission
To educate, empower, and ignite the next generation of dreamers to achieve economic freedom through financial literacy, the creative arts, and social entrepreneurship. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “a bootless man” speech on black economics, The Dream Commission is committed to breaking down the barriers to economic opportunity for all. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity for equitable economic mobility.
