About TCIA
Our mission is to build and develop a problem-solving ecosystem fueled by a critical mass of diverse, highly engaged residents, policymakers, and entrepreneurs made up of Black Indigenous and People of Color, in addition to other marginalized groups traditionally identified as the end-users and consumers of innovation and design, and transforming them into the innovators, purveyors, and beneficiaries.
