The Vivid 25 Impact Venture
Empowering Educators to Lead and Thrive
The Vivid 25 Impact Venture is a bold initiative from Vivid Creative Solutions designed to disrupt systemic oppression and empower educators forced out of the education system by discriminatory policies like the "Stop WOKE Act" or similar legislation. Educators who once inspired generations now face systemic barriers that silence their voices and curtail their impact. We believe their knowledge and experience are too valuable to be lost.
This initiative is deeply personal to Francita V. Williams, CEO of Vivid Creative Solutions. Having spent eight years in higher education, Francita experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating an increasingly hostile political climate. Like so many others, she found her ability to thrive and succeed constrained by systemic forces beyond her control. This experience fueled her passion to help others facing similar struggles. The Vivid 25 Impact Venture is her way of giving back—to empower educators to reclaim their purpose, transform their expertise into thriving businesses, and ensure their vital contributions continue to shape society.
In 2025, we are taking a stand to help these educators reclaim their purpose and transform their expertise into thriving businesses. 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 operation
