My father, as an EEO (Equal Employment Opportunity) manager at the Air Force base in Dayton, Ohio during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, played a significant role in shaping the beginnings of a Well New World. His dedication to promoting equal opportunities and fighting for the rights of marginalized communities was admirable. Through his work, he ensured that everyone, regardless of their background or gender, had a fair chance at employment and advancement. His efforts not only impacted the lives of individuals within the Air Force base but also had ripple effects in the wider society. My father's influence as an EEO manager helped create a more inclusive and equitable environment, setting the stage for positive change in the years to come.

Well New World is a non-profit organization whose current focus is serving black, brown, and indigenous communities and neighborhoods that have been disproportionately affected by the lack of generational wealth. While other non-profits may focus on creating wealth through financial means, Well New World recognizes the importance of wellness as a crucial element in achieving equality and empowerment. In many marginalized communities, the effects of systemic oppression and limited access to resources have hindered the ability to create generational wealth. This in turn limits access to wellness. As a result, these communities often face higher rates of chronic illnesses, limited educational opportunities, and reduced access to quality healthcare.

Well New World believes in empowering individuals to become responsible for their own health. We understand that there are various factors that impact our well-being, such as our dietary choices, the people we surround ourselves with, and the way we engage with one another. Through education, we aim to equip individuals with the knowledge and understanding to make informed decisions about their health. By promoting a holistic approach to wellness, we enable individuals to take proactive steps towards improving their overall well-being. Our commitment to education ensures that individuals are equipped with the necessary tools to lead healthier lifestyles and make choices that positively impact their health. Together, let's embrace this new world of self-care and personal responsibility for a healthier future.
