Time for Social Change!"
OUR COMMITMENT
Tree of Life Entertainment Solutions Group being a BIPOC+, majority women, a profit-sharing company that believes "It takes a Village" to achieve great success. TOLESG's Visionaries and Dreamers built this company to provide a generational legacy for their families. Each area of the company requires various specialized teams, called Legacy Builders (LB) that have specific tasks and expertise to achieve the company's goals. The teams will consist of female leaders as part of our Lionesses Hut. Plus, other mixed-gender Administrators, Directors, and Coordinators will guide, motivate, encourage, and inspire their teammates to accomplish assigned tasks and goals. Our Social Enterprise Division (SED) focus is to bring about all forms of social change and inequities.
TOLESG Social Enterprises
Creating a Community/Village Where “It’s Better to Build Children Rather than Repair Adults.”
A Social Enterprise represents a business model established for a social purpose, to create positive social change. Our business is driven by a social purpose at the heart of who we are and what we do. As a profit-earning company, a portion of our profits will be reinvested into our "Pay it Forward" projects and programs through our 7 Ripples Forward Foundation. TOLESG-SED is also a part of the CMP multimedia entertainment company that includes a social innovations concept. A Social Innovation is a novel solution to a social problem that is more effective, efficient, sustainable, or fair than current solutions. Social Innovation is about the IDEA. Not just any "new idea" but one that creates change performs better than existing solutions and which the value accrues primarily to society and community. Both are why TOLESG has developed this business model as a special division of our Parent Company. Our goal is to bring together 444 team members (community) of like-minded people in a social sector with a common belief that social change is essential to creating a society where everyone prospers. To achieve our goal, we have established four very different entities: social innovations that create change, and highly improve several existing solutions that will enhance community living, and the society we live, work, and play in.
TOLESG comprises four (4) internal entities with several sub-divisions developed from seven (7) different phases. Since our goal is to achieve the highest standard of social impact, we are defining our overall mission as an innovative concept that we passionately called “The Time is Now Movement”- A Social Economic Empowerment Project. It is very bold, ambitious, much needed, and a project that must be developed. The possibility of RACIAL CHANGE is now and this current generation can make it happen. This is very bold, ambitious, much needed, and a project that must be developed, we just need your HELP to push the ball in a different direction. . IT IS OUR MISSION!
Our Social Enterprise business was established from a God-given vision shared by our founder, Gondolyn “Gwen” Hardimon Keeton. Along with a team of other driven Visionaries and Dreamers, who started a path of change that will solve several issues that have plagued our communities and our African-American and Indigenous cultures, and other underserved and unrecognized diverse groups.
