Celebrate Your Heritage with Us
Understanding your ancestry is a beautiful journey that fosters a strong sense of
identity and belonging. By tracing your roots, you connect with the vibrant
cultures, rich experiences, and challenges that your ancestors faced. This
exploration not only deepens your appreciation of your heritage but also
highlights unique personal traits and sheds light on potential health insights.
Plus, it helps preserve cherished family stories and traditions, ensuring that
your legacy thrives for generations to come.
At SPEAK UP FOR A CHANGE we wholeheartedly embrace the beauty of cultural
diversity and inclusion. Our mission is to bridge gaps and unite communities by
celebrating our shared histories. We believe that by learning about our lineages,
we can ignite pride in our heritage and foster a sense of unity among diverse
groups. This is especially important for Afro Descendants and Africans, as our
shared history can empower us to overcome disparities and promote
collaboration.
Mark your calendars for OCTOBER 4, 2025
We are excited to crown an Afro Descendant woman as the Developmental
Queen Mother, alongside Kings and Queens from various regions of Africa. Her
inspiring role will be to advocate for unity among Africans and Afro
Descendants, reminding us that we are all part of one big family.
Together, we can drive meaningful change and celebrate the rich tapestry of
our cultures.
MAY GOD BLESS ALL

Our WHY
STOP THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
Let us unite our voices to declare,
"Stop Domestic Violence in Families within Our
Communities."
We recognize that domestic violence yields no
positive outcomes; rather, it has the potential to
transform a healthy, strong individual into
someone who is unstable, unwell, bitter,
isolated, and angry, especially in the absence of a
supportive community.
It is evident that numerous households remain
afflicted by domestic violence, despite the
considerable efforts made to assist families and
children in need.
In light of this, our organization, Speak Up For A
Change, in collaboration with the City of Virginia
Beach and under the leadership of Mayor Bobby
Dyer is committed to rallying voices and
professionals to once again prioritize the well-
being of every family.
Domestic violence is often not a consideration,
particularly when one’s life is at risk. Therefore,
Speak Up For A Change has engaged young
women and girls who have endured similar
experiences to serve as ambassadors, working
alongside a selected leader to impact, reflect,
and represent every home, ensuring that each
has a voice. Join us on October 4, 2025, in
officiating the commemoration of these ladies.
Together, we will ensure that no home is left in
