Just OUR Tech

Our Upcoming Revolution's Technologies (OUR Tech)

Welcome to the intersection of Afrocentric activism and technology where we are powered by empowerment

OUR Story

Originally imagined in 2017, OUR Tech is the now working brain child of multiple Black student activists from across the country. We were founded under the guides of taking Black economic sovereignty and collectivism into digital space. As of 2021, we now help create digital platforms for activism-oriented Black students, entrepreneurs, and established businesses.
