N3wdoom Inc.

N3wdoom, Inc is focused on providing collective resources and opportunities to underserved demographics within the Omaha, Nebraska area.

We have many aspirations, If our organization was selected as a winner of this awesome opportunity,  we would use the prize funding to support our current and future programs such as our summer breakfast program, our annual back-to-school supply drive, as well as our business credit repair services.  This opportunity would be very useful in enhancing technology access for the organization as well as further training and education. The many different ways collectively your assistance could impact us is not limited to the monetary rewards,  but also with the assistance with building our own platform or even with collaboration with your platform to spread and share our message the various media outlets to gain support for our mission. We would also greatly appreciate the opportunity for mentorship, professional development as well as connecting with other innovators such as ourselves to learn and grow together.  Ultimately any support of any kind for any of our initiatives would greatly appreciate. 

In my life, I have had to use hardships to shape my reality. As I have grown I have come to learn how the absence of certain tools had limited my growth. Now, as an adult, I acknowledge the difference in attempting to complete a task with all the possible tools available versus attempting to create something without a tool. My hope is for N3wdoom to be that missing tool for others.

When the ideas of Newdoom were conceptualized in 2012, they were constructed on uniting separate communities of Art, Graffiti, Skateboarding and Music collectively while fostering a movement to unify our city. The very moniker “NEWDOOM” is centered on flipping the status quo upside down. Fast-forward to 2020 where that idea has evolved into a fully functional nonprofit. While we still aim to unify those same artistic expressions we have focused our initiatives towards educational and communal programming where we can strive for a new comfort in rejecting societal norms. 

Despite the shift in focus, the passion to empower the disenfranchised lives on, Based in the heartland of Omaha, Nebraska change is from the inside outward.

There are several pillars of growth that our organization is targeted towards. With your engagement and development, many young people have been affected by the lack of opportunities and resources available to them for success. The Black population of Omaha represents 12.3%, with the Black high school graduation rate reported at 79% as of 2016. While higher than the national average, 57% reported in 2018-19, Black youth still suffer from a significant lack of opportunities, incentives, and programs.

With returning incarcerated citizens, there are no shortages of challenges faced when re-entering society. With the challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic, some research suggests between 30 to 50 percent of people under parole or probation lost a job. Our goal is to work with these individuals to provide support and development to get back on their feet. 

When looking toward the future, there is no promise for food, clean and sustainable resources, or for human rights. According to the 2019 Annual Business Survey, looking at 2018 data, approximately 18.3% of all U.S. businesses were minority-owned.  The disparaging wealth gap experienced by minorities will not allow us to build with other communities until we are viewed as an asset and not a liability.  

Our work is rooted in community engagement with youth and families, networking and development for returning citizens who were previously incarcerated, and support for educators. 

What makes our work unique will be the transparency of our values and how the programs are all congruent with one another. Our values are Resiliency, Accountability, and Self-empowerment. At N3wDoom Inc, the attributes, behaviors, and beliefs will connect associates with common goals. We believe that we can turn individuals into assets, then families into businesses. We look to provide industrial protection through association and empowerment within knowledge. 

We aim to address this problem with a wide array of community initiatives under our four pillars of programs. Our Youth Programs will be spearheaded by our Educator’s Union. Collectively with our Return to Citizenship Program, we will create a Workforce Development Program.

One of the goals of our organization is to establish intentional economic plans for our service communities. Our programming is designed to educate individuals and introduce them to resources, tools, and new values that will lead to self-empowerment and enrichment. Our focus on business industrialization allows all local issues to impact global issues. 

A favorite teacher of mine installed in me that the path of true equity and equality in a capitalistic society involves an understanding of economics. This starts with, but is not limited to is Education.

We will continue to battle national and structural unemployment and joblessness one step at a time. Our focus is sustainable growth, adding more to our task list as we grow as an organization.

Income earned and unearned can balance out with the establishment of independent businesses. 

With some of our long-term goals to establish community pantries all the way to virtual office space for start-up businesses, I believe we can be a leader in the space of need. This urgent issued of supplying disenfranchised people with a blueprint of financial independence is the much-needed empowerment to solve revolving issues. As a future global innovation company, our impact can be limitless.

Our goals go deep into the future where we can make a global impact for establishing an economic family of independent businesses and brands as a support system.
