Role
Robbie J. Atkinson is the founder and President of FIER, also known as "The Foundation for Inter-Ethnic Restoration".
FIER (pronounced "fire') was founded in 2020 amidst the countless protests against police brutality and rampant xenophobia stemming from the COVID 19 pandemic. Our name, the Foundation for Inter-Ethnic Restoration, came from our desire to unite different ethnic/racial groups and address racial tension in society.
Our mission is to raise awareness about racial literacy through the creative arts and foster allyship between diverse communities. FIER believes in the impact of art and its powerful use as a medium to: guide thought-provoking discussion, empower current/future generations with compassionate empathy and equip our community with insight that can change the way we see and treat one another for the better.
FIER envisions a world where race isn't a wedge that divides us but a bridge that unites us.
