The Vivid 25 Impact Venture

Empowering Educators and Professionals to Lead and Thrive

A Bold Response to Systemic Barriers

The Vivid 25 Impact Venture is a pioneering initiative from Vivid Creative Solutions designed to challenge systemic oppression and empower educators, thought leaders, and community influencers affected by discriminatory policies such as the “Stop WOKE Act” and similar legislation. These individuals, who once inspired and educated generations, now encounter barriers that threaten to silence their voices and diminish their impact. Their expertise and contributions are invaluable and must not be lost.

Taking a Stand in 2025

This year, we stand firm in supporting educators, thought leaders, and professionals as they reclaim their purpose and transform their expertise into thriving businesses. This mission has taken on even greater urgency in light of sweeping changes announced by the Trump administration on January 21, 2025. The administration’s decision to end affirmative action in federal contracting and eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion staff from federal institutions has sparked widespread fear and compliance among companies and organizations reliant on federal funding. Many are enacting drastic, wide-reaching changes to align with the administration’s policies, often at the expense of the values of inclusion, equity, and representation.

 

The Widespread Impact of Policy Changes

These policy shifts ripple far beyond institutional operations. Words like “inclusion,” “safe space,” “intersectionality,” “marginalized,” “systemic racism,” “social justice,” “ally,” “LGBTQ,” “BIPOC,” and “bias” are vanishing from websites, communications, and policies. For those who found solace and strength in openly expressing their identities and beliefs, this erasure strips away recognition and support. It breeds fear, suppresses dialogue, and leaves many questioning their place within once supportive institutions.

 

Empowering Marginalized Professionals

At Vivid Creative Solutions, we acknowledge the profound impact these shifts have on marginalized professionals. The Vivid 25 Impact Venture is dedicated to serving educators, thought leaders, and community influencers who are being pushed out of their jobs and careers. This initiative offers a lifeline, providing resources, mentorship, and strategic guidance to help these changemakers transition into entrepreneurship. Together, we help them create businesses that embody their values, amplify their voices, and champion a more equitable future. This initiative bridges the gap between adversity and opportunity, offering resources, mentorship, and strategic guidance to help these changemakers turn their passions into sustainable enterprises. By empowering them to continue teaching critical knowledge in innovative ways, we not only support their journeys but also uphold the importance of diverse and inclusive education for society as a whole.

This is more than a program—it’s a mission to amplify silenced voices and create lasting change through innovative marketing and operational strategies. Together, we ensure that critical knowledge continues to be taught and shared.
