The future Has New Tools But the Same Soul
We’ve Been Locked Out Before. Not This Time.
AI4Brothers and Sisters was born from memory and vision, from the wisdom of our elders and the urgency of our times. Guided by a self-taught brother who turned curiosity into community purpose, it brings together Black professionals, organizers, and digital stewards who saw the pattern repeating: another revolution in technology, another generation of our people left on the margins.
We remember:
• When highways were built through Black neighborhoods
• When the internet boom created billionaires, but less than 1% of venture capital went to Black founders
• When AI facial recognition led to false arrests of Black men
This time, we refuse to be bystanders.
Believe in active mastery, not passive resistance. The tools are here. The question is simple: Will we use them, or will we be used by them?
our values
🎵 SoulTech
Technology is soulless and ruthless because it mirrors its creators. We will do for technology what we've done for music, literature, the arts and this country. Add Soul.
⭕ Collective Power
Real strength lives in the circle. We build skills together, lift each other's understanding, and make sure every voice has a seat in the digital village.
👑 Cultural Integrity
We don't trade our history for high tech. Our rhythm, language, resilience and creativity are forms of intelligence. Technology should learn from us, not just teach to us.
✊🏾 Self-Determination
We control our learning and our future. Nobody decides for us what tools we can master or which doors we can walk through.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Norman Weekes founded AI4Brothers & Sisters to make artificial intelligence accessible to the people too often left out of the conversation. An autodidact (self-taught), longtime mentor and community educator, he’s helped youth and elders alike turn curiosity into confidence. He still claims he’s “just figuring this stuff out,” but somehow keeps teaching everyone else how to do it.
