What is The Pentagon Project? Our Mission - Liberating Women, Empowering Communities
The Pentagon Project is a forthcoming non-profit organization focused on liberating women of African descent from financial hardship through scholarships, resources, and opportunities in the areas of education, leadership, community, spirituality, & health leading to empowered women, and through those women - empowered communities.
Why a Pentagon? Pentagon Symbolism
A pentagon contains five points a number that symbolizes God’s grace. Generally associated with strength, the pentagon epitomizes the definition of true liberation. Much like The Project’s founders, no matter how a pentagon is manipulated it always maintains its original identity. The number five also represents expansion. For the four founders, this expansion included liberation: the final component is a sisterhood of strength and grace.
What are the future goals of The Pentagon Project? The Future
Currently in its infancy, The Pentagon Project is taking it one step and one initiative at a time. Through The Project's efforts, its founders hope women and their male counterparts will learn to respect and embrace one another for the beautiful, unique beings they are, and in turn strengthen the backbone of the community. The best is most certainly yet to come, but liberation has arrived!
