Life 1619

Welcome to Life1619!  I’m excited that you are here and you should be excited as well.  1619 was born from the premise of taking something negative and turning it into a positive.    1619 is designed to get you to jumpstart your community involvement in several ways. 

 1. 1619 is the number of actions that one should strive to accomplish in their lifetime by doing something that uplifts another in your community.  These actions can be done individually or in conjunction with your Kabila (Tribe).  You decide what counts as an action.

It may be something as simple as paying for someone’s meal, or sponsoring a student in the local high school band; It may be the time you dedicate to reading to children at a children’s hospital or the hours spent coordinating a local food drive.  I’m sure that you see where I’m going with this.

At 1619, Sharing is Caring and we want you to share your actions by simply hash-tagging #1619 -1 ( ie., #1619paidforcoffee1, #1619sponsoredastudent2, #1619volunteeredathospital3)  Sometimes seeing other people take actions spurs us to take action.  Be the change that you desire to see in the world and let’s kick ass and take no prisoners.

2.  Supporting this website through the purchase of items.  Several key items provide 100 % support to the 1619 Collective – Which is community grassroots organization that focuses on housing, self-empowerment, community involvement and HBCUs.  The bottom line is that we are in this together, and if we support one another, we can achieve greatness, one individual at a time.
