WELCOME TO
NYCEMOVES
— OUR MISSION
Welcome to NyceMoves, where we guide students, families, and educational practitioners on a transformative journey from under-resourced communities that need access to equitable school and community resources with curriculum geared towards holistic wellness practices that are pragmatic, therapeutic, culturally responsive, and fun.
— The Dream of the Planet
Here at NyceMoves, we recognize that socio-economic factors are acutely responsible for many challenges our youth and families endure on their quest to pave a positive successful educational, personal, and professional career. Having limited exposure to resources such as; state-of-the-art fitness training centers, mentorship, nutritional guidance, financial literacy workshops, and culturally responsive programs perpetuates systemic racism, inequitable resource allocation, and an increase in mental wellness hardships. This fragile system can present short & long-term mapping challenges that youth and adults face over time. Humans must be equipped with practices and strategies that lead to self-liberation. This is why, NyceMoves was inspired to create a health and wellness hub for students, student-athletes, families, and educational practitioners that facilitates educational workshops, holistic wellness practices, clinics, spiritual yoga and mindset sessions, and conducts nutritional conversations.
— FUN FACTS
Financial Illiteracy
"60% of college athletes never received financial literacy in High School, and 65% never received financial literacy during their college orientation"
Underresourced Communities
"Discrimination, stigmatization, and limited social networks further exacerbate the challenges faced by urban poor communities. The lack of resources and opportunities can lead to a sense of isolation and hopelessness, making it difficult for individuals to break free from the cycle of poverty."
Competitive Athletes Depression
“31.9 percent Adolescent Athletes have some form of an anxiety disorder”
OUR STORY
We’ve all heard the stories: a promising young student-athlete who fails to achieve her potential, or a young professional unable to manage the fruits of his success. Indiviudals from underresourced communities often have a double burden—they carry the hopes and dreams of friends and families along with their own, and their ‘map’ may be missing major features—they may not have access to the social-emotional or financial tools more affluent individuals learn to use in managing their business, financial, professional and personal choices.
"You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!"
