Re-Invigorating Our Local Communities
The Ezrach Brain Trust Association is a non-profit organization paving the way for economic opportunity, environmental sustainability, and educational equity to improve the trajectory of historically marginalized communities throughout Southern Los Angeles.
OUR STORY
how EZRACH came to be
Ezrach, which is Hebrew for a tree or sprout with indigenous roots to the land, is a non-profit organization that was first conceptualized in 2016 inside of a South Los Angeles barbershop. Barber Shaahid Ali El and client Daniel Ferguson discussed the condition of their community and expressed a mutual concern for their economically disadvantaged neighbors.
​
Inside of that barbershop, Daniel & Shaahid sprouted the idea to form a joint coalition, one that would seek to leverage faith-based and community-led efforts, strengthen financial infrastructure, and bring prosperity back to their beloved neighborhood. It was after the premature death of a well-known local artist, Nipsey Hussle, that Daniel and Shaahid decided to manifest their idea into a tangible plan. In August 2019, Ezrach was established as a Non-Profit Organization, and has been growing ever since.
