U.N.I.T.E.Y CDC
Understanding New Identifiers That Empower Youth
(UNITEYCDC) is a non-profit Community Development Corporation. We are committed to building and connecting a bridge for Black youth and young adults in our communities. By providing educational, recreational, and social enrichment for underserved Black youth and young adults we help bridge the gap between these bright minds and access to the Social and Human Resources they need. It is our mission to provide a streamline approach to these resources and to assure a quality tomorrow for the youth and young adults who reside in the city of Memphis, TN. Food Traditions are not only rooted in historical meaning but also serves as the vehicle for the transmission of oral narratives. By combining musical and culinary heritage with history we provide a more comprehensive backdrop to tell Black people’s collective story.
