DDI is a non-profit organization focused on saving ourselves
by exposure to educational opportunities, financial literacy and health awareness.

Focusing on the 3A’s – Awareness, Acceptance and Action.

Our Mission is to dissipate disparities among minorities in
an array of areas to include but not limited to educational
issues, social issues, financial issues, with a major focus
on health issues. For as a minority, we must change the
essence and perception of our people. We must look back to
days of striving to survive while attaining and surpassing
the dreams of our counterparts. Yet, currently we stand
divided, and the only way for us to further promote
progression is to unite and become one. Being the essence
of one, then can we save ourselves and become better as a
people by dissipating one disparity at a time.
