WhO ARE WE?
Our Tribe is a grassroots initiative created to uplift Black persons with Autism. The organization was founded by Josselyn Okorodudu and Latonya Chichester, both of whom are parents to Black children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. After years of witnessing the sidelining and marginalization of the Black Autism Community, Our Tribe was created to build community and a movement that promotes justice and equity for Black people with autism and their families.
