The Story of Chiquita Jackson Enterprise

We Show Up and Empower Our Community! 

At Chiquita Jackson Enterprise, our mission is clear: to drive positive change and serve as a beacon of hope in the fight against poverty. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are dedicated to combating poverty through innovative solutions that foster economic stability and empower communities to rise together. Our work goes beyond offering temporary aid; we focus on creating lasting, systemic change by engaging with the people we serve and advocating for their rights, ensuring that every voice is heard and respected.

The heart of our work lies in our comprehensive approach to community empowerment. We recognize that poverty is not a one-dimensional issue; it’s rooted in complex systemic barriers that require grassroots solutions. Through research and advocacy, we confront these barriers head-on, addressing the core issues that keep communities marginalized. By fostering leadership, facilitating economic growth, and creating pathways to financial independence, we empower individuals to reclaim their future and break free from the cycle of poverty.

Since our founding, we’ve made strides in multiple critical areas, each contributing to a more inclusive and equitable society. From youth leadership development to career readiness programs, we’re preparing the next generation for success by nurturing their potential and encouraging them to lead with confidence. Our focus on advancing racial equity and providing voter education ensures that the most disenfranchised voices in low-income and BIPOC communities are not only heard but also have the tools and knowledge to effect change. We believe that by empowering people at the grassroots level, we can dismantle systemic barriers and create opportunities for everyone to thrive.

The story of Chiquita Jackson Enterprise is one of resilience and impact. On February 1, 2020, Chiquita Jackson founded this organization to honor her ancestors and provide growth opportunities to low-income communities. From that day, we have embraced our mission to combat poverty with a steadfast commitment to economic stability and leadership development. Through initiatives like the Get Noticed Resume Writing Day, which provides affordable career support to BIPOC job seekers, and the PROMISE Youth & Sports Academy, where at-risk youth are mentored and given the tools to succeed, we continue to invest in the future of our communities.

Our journey has been marked by powerful moments of community engagement, from hosting leadership workshops and talent shows to organizing events like the Kwanzaa & Kulture Brunch and Juneteenth Community Picnic, which celebrate culture and unity. We believe that bringing people together and celebrating their strength is central to empowering them.

Through every initiative, our commitment to racial equity, voter education, and community development shines through. We know that by addressing the root causes of poverty and advocating for long-term solutions, we are not just helping individuals—we are transforming entire communities. Our journey is far from over, but each step brings us closer to a world where every person, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed.

At Chiquita Jackson Enterprise, we don’t just show up; we create change. We are committed to lifting people up, inspiring hope, and making sure that no one is left behind. Through our diverse programs and unwavering dedication, we are creating a better future—one community at a time.

Our Core Values

Boldness

We are not afraid to challenge the status quo and take risks to make real and lasting impact.

Equity and Intersectionality

As we continue to strive for equity, it is important to recognize the intersections of marginalized identities. No one should be denied opportunities or experience oppression because of their background or identity.
