About
The I Am Human Foundation is a national, Black trans-led nonprofit working at the intersection of community health, economic empowerment, and dignity-centered care. We ensure that Black and brown communities, especially LGBTQ+ communities, have access to the resources every human deserves.
Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia with a second office opening in San Francisco in 2026, we deliver peer-led programs across six focus areas: health and wellness, workforce development, youth programs, trans and gender non-conforming services, civic engagement, and harm reduction. Every program we operate is built by people with lived experience for the communities they serve.
A future where every human, regardless of identity, has access to the care, resources, and community they need to thrive. A future where Black and brown LGBTQ+ communities are not surviving systems built without us, but leading systems built for us.
I Am Human began in Philadelphia as an apparel company founded by Ariq Barrett. From the start, the work was about more than clothing. Proceeds from each piece went toward providing meals to people facing homelessness, building a brand that fed a community as it grew.
