History
The Gye Nyame Empowerment Project (GNEP) was incorporated on February 13, 2007. The word Gye Nyame, pronounced Jean-Yuh-Me, comes from Ghana in West Africa and it symbolizes the supremacy of God. Although GNEP is not a faith-based organization, we do acknowledge that our successes are not accidents, but a result of something bigger than us.

Mission
The mission of GNEP is to recognize, celebrate, and examine issues pertaining to people of Pan-African descent, with an emphasis on those residing in underserved communities. The organization is dedicated to the education and advancement of people of Pan-African descent, and the development of the neighborhoods and communities they reside in through conferences, workshops and other social and educational mediums. Our vision is to provide a supportive network and forum that empowers the individual, the family and the community to meet their full potential.
Goals
The goals of GNEP are grounded in a basic principal noted by scholar Marianne Williamson: as people let their own light shine, they unconsciously give others permission to do the same.
