NJ Impact Initiatives was born from a deep personal truth — that real change starts close to home. Our name doesn’t stand for a place. It stands for Nisha and Jabril, the children who inspired the heart of our mission.
Built from legacy and led with intention, NJ Impact Initiatives exists to empower grassroots organizations and communities that are often overlooked. We know what it means to start with a vision but lack the support — so we step in to provide the strategy, systems, and solidarity that create lasting change.
President

Treasurer
Oversees financial integrity and compliance.

Legacy-Driven: We build with purpose rooted in personal connection and long-term impact.
Equity-Centered: Our work amplifies those most often left out of traditional systems.
Strategic: We focus on systems that build sustainability — not just short-term success.
Compassionate: At every level, we lead with care, dignity, and community.
NJ Impact Initiatives was never just a project — it was a promise. A promise to honor my children’s legacy, and to use what I’ve learned to help others build what they’ve dreamed.
I know what it feels like to start something important with limited resources and even less support. That’s why we exist — to bridge those gaps and give visionaries, leaders, and communities the strategy and strength they need to thrive.
Thank you for being a part of this journey. Whether you’re here to support, learn, or partner — you are welcomed with purpose.
