Mending Goals envisions a world where every individual, irrespective of their skin color, feels valued, recognized, and empowered to achieve their fullest potential.
Our approach is multifaceted, focusing on education, representation, cultural affirmation, and the fostering of meaningful dialogues that challenge and dismantle prejudicial norms.

Through our initiatives—ranging from community workshops and educational programs to advocacy and media campaigns—we Strive to celebrate diversity, encourage critical media literacy, and promote equity and inclusion.
Mending Goals is more than just an organization; it is a movement towards healing and unity. By confronting the legacies of the past and paving the way for a more inclusive future, we aim to not only mend what has been broken but also to inspire a new generation of leaders, thinkers, and change-makers who are proud of their heritage and determined to make a difference.
Join us in this journey of healing, empowerment, and transformation. Together, we can create a world where everyone’s identity is a source of strength, and where group esteem fuels collective success and well-being.

The Colonial Exploiter
We must find new lands from which we can easily obtain raw materials
and at the same time exploit the cheap slave labor that is available
from the natives of the colonies. The colonies would also provide a
dumping ground for the surplus goods produced in our factories.

figures like Cecil Rhodes, we emerge as the heroes shaping a future
defined by equity, justice, and genuine progress, rather than exploita-
