Only Us Community Group, founded by Lakeshia Harraway in May of 2018, began as an intimate gathering of friends and family to address challenges within the Black community and emphasize the importance of giving back. Lakeshia’s passion for creating Only Us stemmed from her deep love for Black people and her desire to collaborate with like-minded Black men and women committed to community upliftment. While differences of opinion may arise, the group’s focus remains on a shared goal: fostering growth, unity, and long-term progress within the Black community. Recognizing the critical importance of mental health, Only Us is dedicated to addressing traumas and promoting healing, understanding that mental well-being is essential for individual and collective advancement.
