Divine America has a vision of being the most prominent network of artists, individuals, and organizations. Divine America’s vision is that the network formed within it invigorates so much passion for a future reality, that it will allow the community it serves to support the direction which Divine America and represents. Through highlighting similarities rather than differences, Divine America allows for like-mission artists, individuals, and organizations to work together in order to achieve their respective goals at little or no additional cost to themselves… All while giving back!
Entering the market in 2010, Divine LLC (dba Divine America) is established as a brand management company that provokes positive change within the current values of mainstream media. This is accomplished by helping young people to find their voice by supporting their development as artists and through the educational system. The Company began out of a realization and frustration that popular media proportionately over-promotes messages that are hyper-sexual, violent and otherwise contradictory to the founding ideals of the United States. Divine America allows students to be taught by local professional artists, entrepreneurs and college students who know first-hand what it takes to overcome the struggles of neighborhood culture.
