In the heart of DRUUMM lies a profound commitment to the principles of Unitarian Universalism: our faith centers on love, justice, and the search for truth and meaning. Our mission is deeply rooted in these values, guiding us to nurture leadership and build our wider community. We believe in the power of uniting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), enriching Unitarian Universalism and beyond with our lived experiences, vision for the world we dream of, and our diverse cultural gifts. Our journey is one of collective faith formation, mentoring, and building connections that transcend the ordinary, creating a space where more voices are valued in our congregations and community, and where every BIPOC UU will flourish.
