The Shades of Impact Initiative shouts out the colorful people who shaped us, inspired us and sparked our growth. Many of us have a story in our hearts about a trailblazer who set us on a path, either because of what they’ve done or because of who they were in a critical moment.
From March 2, 2020 to March 27, 2020, the Surge Institute is asking you to share a brief story about a genius of color who impacted your life in a powerful way. At the end of the month we will take all of the stories submitted and create a digital collage that all can see and experience as a monument to the multi-layered, multi-generational power and impact of our people of color.
