Sister. Brother. Changemaker.
For too long, we’ve been the only ones in rooms that weren’t built for us. Translating our brilliance. Dimming our light. Making others comfortable while we suffocated.
Not anymore.
“I’ve never experienced any space like Surge before,” declares Amber White, Oakland ’22, Associate Director of Program at Beyond 12 and our fierce Impact Community member whose unwavering commitment to liberation inspires us every single day. “Surge encourages you to take up space. It’s designed exclusively for us.”
Family, hear that? EXCLUSIVELY for us. No code-switching. No shrinking. Just pure, unapologetic Black and Brown excellence.
This is Our Time, Our Power, Our Movement
Listen—when Amber White walked into Surge, she didn’t just find a program. She found her people. Her power. Her purpose unleashed.
“Surge reminds us that we are not imposters, that we DO belong,” she says, fire in her voice. “I am and can be what I envision. It’s REAL, and I can go for it.”
Can you feel that ancestral energy? That’s what happens when we create spaces where our children’s teachers look like them, think like them, and FIGHT like them.
Revolutionary Giving, Revolutionary Change
Our beloved Amber White doesn’t just give—she INVESTS in our collective liberation. We are deeply grateful for her commitment to keeping our movement alive and thriving.
“I give because I want other people to have that same experience,” she shares with conviction. “I want to keep the cycle going and keep paying it forward.”
THIS is how we break generational cycles. THIS is how we build the educational landscape our babies deserve.
Her wisdom cuts deep as Amber proclaims, Generosity is grace and holding space. Genuine presence is every bit as generous as charitable acts. For a person to feel seen and heard—that is Generosity.” That’s the revolution, family. Love in action.
