- A vibrant Black business community that serves Black people and all others with useful, helpful services and products; it includes businesses such as restaurants, entertainment venues, professional services organizations, hair care, tech companies and more.
- A vibrant Black community that attracts tourism to San Francisco to enjoy creative Black talent; one that is a magnet for Black achievement in the Arts, Education, Technology, Business and Social Endeavors.
- A San Francisco that promotes and recognizes Black excellence, and attracts and fosters young Black leadership.
- A community where all are housed, working and enriched by continuous learning; a community where health and wellness are a way of life, and the justice system is an ally.
- A San Francisco that embraces Black people.
- A city where Black people are welcomed, engaged and embedded in all that San Francisco has to offer on every level;
- A city where Black historical contributions are celebrated, and where Black innovation and creativity are recognized, promoted and embraced.
