Black Lives Matter.

There is no space for intolerance, hate, prejudice, or violence in this organization, and in this community. As Generation Z, we lead the charge in igniting change and must uphold one another in times of great division and inequity.

At GenZ Designs, our mission is to create a world where every member of Gen Z feels like they truly belong. That mission has no relevance if we live in a world where all people are not treated equally.

What we’re doing: In early June, we held an all-team ally training meeting to understand how we can better support the fight against racial injustice and police brutality. Since then, our team has continued to educate and to learn, but we always must do better. We hold bi-weekly Black Lives Matter team discussions, where we share thoughts on ways we as an organization and as individuals can continue to make change. What we’re doing will never be enough, and we acknowledge that. As Founder and CEO, it is my responsibility as a white male to do better. To lead a team that does more, to make this more than a moment. I vow to make change, and am responsible for doing so.
