American and African Advocacy Gathering
About
Our organization uses African family-based cultural strategies to provide the best advocacy for all individuals, with disabilities whether they be cognitive or developmental, or neurotypical individuals, and create a safe environment in peoples home and in the community where people, young and old, can have honest equal say in the group they are a part of and the services being provided. We are brothers, sisters, cousins, and nephews.
Our Mission
"We are your true advocates and represent your rights, goals, and needs."
From Advocated For to Advocate: Eric Naindouba
