Gracious Oasis began in honor of the legacy of Grace Asuquo Attah. In the late 1970s Grace emigrated to the United States and began her family. She would eventually enter the cosmetology and health professions. All the while, Grace had an affinity towards childcare, and often assisted newly emigrated mothers in caring for their children while they attended school or went to work. Although she did not attend college, she was a true example of leadership and a proponent of girls empowerment through education. Mrs. Attah had the expectation that all of her children and their friends would go on to universities and significantly impact the world. She never wanted them to struggle in poverty, experience lack of healthcare, or encounter other forms of oppression.
In July 2010, Grace's life was cut short in a car accident involving a driver intoxicated by alcohol and drugs. Although physically absent, her spirit lives on and her work continues in all of the lives she touched and left behind.
A world where every youth feels supported, inspired, and enriched to lead, create, innovate, and achieve any imaginable aspiration.
A desire to contribute energetic passionate leadership in the inner city, specifically centered on education, girls empowerment, Black male student athlete support, and arts education, we formed Gracious Oasis to provide a response to the challenges faced in our community. We continue to grow, all thanks to the helping hands of an amazing community!
Our amazing team of directors and volunteers are committed to growing leadership through access to the arts, girls empowerment, and student athlete support. We take our convictions and turn them into action. Think you would be a good fit? Get in touch for more information!
Gracious Oasis has been supporting the arts, girls empowerment, and youth leadership in Southern California since 2007 with its first program, My Sisters' Keeper.
