The Blaque Awareness Network (The Network) is an Afrocentric forum where new knowledge can be both acquired and applied. It is a practical, inter-related cluster of programs targeting the minority community, but made accessible to anyone willing to both learn and teach.

BAN is influenced by Pan-Africanism and Black Nationalism, resulting in a focus on ethnic minority communities, businesses, and social service agencies. We offer workshops, seminars, retreats, and conferences to both members and guests for nominal fees/donations. Although each program is geared toward a specific audience with a specific learning outcome, each works toward a single goal: to better the lives and communities from which participants come.

However, BAN goes much farther than the average non-profit agency in that The Network's activities connect people, cultures, and communities goals to one another, thereby expanding The Network. In addition, BAN also serves as the cohesive entity for all agencies and companies organized under the BlaqueAdemics™ banner.
