About Us
Where our truth becomes our power.
rooted in truth. driven by legacy.
They Erase, We Elevate is more than a campaign - it's a call to remember, reclaim, and rise.
We are a digital movement and platform that amplifies Black stories, businesses, creativity, and contributions that have been erased, ignored, or buried by mainstream narratives. From powerful community voices to unsung inventors, changemakers, and creators — we shine a light where others dim it.
Whether you discover a Black-owned business, hear a forgotten truth, or shop with purpose, every action you take with us helps restore what was erased — and rewrite the narrative with power, pride, and precision.
Why it matters
When We Elevate Our Truth, We Change the Narrative for Generations
For centuries, our stories have been stolen. Our businesses underfunded. Our contributions rewritten or removed. They Erase, We Elevate exists to flip the script — and create something enduring, beautiful, and bold.
Because when we own our narratives, we own our power.
Reclaim. Restore. Rise.
To amplify erased stories, empower Black-owned excellence, and create platforms rooted in truth, culture, and community.
