The specific purpose of this corporation is to bring together children, adults, and community organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area to learn, work, and play together through engaging in technology-based literacy activities. We create multimodal representations of self and community, share these with wider audiences locally and globally, as well as use digital media tools as a way of reflecting critically on self, community, society, and the world. As we work together we create educational, economic and entrepreneurial opportunities for the community in which they live. The mission statement of our annual event is: -AfroComicCon™ entertains, educates, and unites a diverse, global audience around comics, art media, technology, and culture. We establish a platform to showcase and empower artists who have historically been denied access to equal opportunity.-
