Vision
ABOUT: P-CoC Inc. | Parenting Children of Color, a professional society, and its community social circle groups are dedicated to supporting marginalized individuals at the intersection of race, color, and ethnicity.
MISSION: P-CoC's mission is to create meaningful change by exclusively championing initiatives that promote racial, color, and ethnic equity for persons of color, focusing on fostering ethno-cultural expression, ensuring fair treatment through actionable support, and providing education for all.
GOAL: P-CoC Inc promotes the embrace of a singular human race, graced with unique variations of skin color shades and enriched ethnic uniqueness. We emphasize the belief in a shared humanity, rejecting the idea of inherent racial, color, or ethnic superiority or inferiority.
Values integral to one's ethos are sometimes held in mutual exclusivity to the values of another within their own respective ethos. This is an ontological state of our human interactions, and therefore, attaining societal equity in our pluralistic society will require the act of equitable coexistence with delicate finesse, much like navigating the connection of distinct shapes of unique puzzle pieces to form a tapestry of beautiful interlockings that display the humanness of our shared humanity. -
TENETS OF FOUNDING PRINCIPLES
Explore More Information: P-CoC Inc solely focuses on addressing the distressing pattern of marginalization of minority voices and experiences, particularly those at the bottom rung of society at the intersection of Race (historically associated with "Black" identity), Color (darker skin tones), and Ethnicity (oppressed ancestral heritages). This focus forms the essence of establishing P-CoC’s laser-focused work and its founding principles. P-CoC Inc aims to protect its programming needs to ascertain universal relevance to any space without hostility due to other sociopolitical affiliations. This allows engagement solely dedicated to addressing marginalized intersectional issues related to race, color, and ethnicity. This approach allows for the undiluted evaluation of work and isolated impact that is devoid of links to other sociopolitical platforms and other forms of interest convergence. P-CoC participants may include officials and workers in agencies who are prohibited by law from engaging in socio-political activities. Therefore, P-CoC does not engage in partnership work with any socio-political movement bodies. However, participants of P-CoC Inc. are not bound by the above limitations if their work falls outside the scope of P-CoC Inc.'s engagements. They are free to actively pursue other intersectionality work within and beyond those related to race, color, ethnicity, or socio-political movements, provided it remains outside of P-CoC Inc.'s purview.
DESCRIPTION
Explore More Information: The peacock symbolizes the P-CoC logo. The peacock-the bird with 100 eyes, is a possessor of valued human characteristics, exhibiting signs of sacredness, dignity, leadership, fortification, and vigilance. Not stifling the authentic representation and expressions of persons of color radiates beauty like when a peacock spreads its feathers, revealing intertwined elegance. P-CoC Inc. operates as a collective through established ad hoc committees, collaborating with local social circles to support beneficiaries within the framework exclusively focused on race, color, and ethnicity, particularly among marginalized individuals. We also strive to secure resources to address the academic and economic needs of people of color. P-CoC Inc. is a professional society distinct from a social movement, sociopolitical group, or exclusive self-serving club. Board participants contribute their expertise, resources, intellectual support, and financial backing to serve both internal and external beneficiaries. Individuals within the organization may partake in other forms of intersectionality work outside of race, color, and ethnicity, however, P-CoC, as an organization, does not participate in any other forms of intersectionality work beyond race, color, and ethnicity. P-CoC avoids any form of interest convergence at all costs. The danger with interest convergence is the quick deterioration into a colonialist symbiosis, where an establishment striving towards exclusivity of work is robbed of its focused interest.

P-CoC Inc. is dedicated to advancing societal equity with an unwavering focus on race, color, and ethnicity. While our identity-based work does not extend beyond these three areas, as they form the foundation of why P-CoC Inc was established, we do, however, support broader initiatives such as academics, resource development, and self-efficacy support.
