Project Working Title: “Natures Embrace: A Sanctuary of Afro-futurism and Healing” Project Description: "Natures Embrace" will be a groundbreaking project that not only showcases the beauty and therapeutic power of nature but also provides an accessible, inclusive environment for people who have been excluded from natural spaces. Our wish is to create an indoor oasis that mirrors the serenity and regenerative qualities of the outdoors, offering a comforting and empowering experience that resonates with the center's mission.
