What would have been the late-great rapper 2Pac’s 50th birthday on June 16th, is still being celebrated and remembered through the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation’s social justice-driven initiatives for 2021. The Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation (TASF) was founded in 1997 by 2Pac’s late mother Afeni Shakur, a year after he was fatally shot in Las Vegas. The foundation is now spearheaded by CEO and president Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur–sister of 2Pac and daughter of Afeni and Dr. Mutulu Shakur. TASF is dedicated to eradicating the effects of trauma on the Black community by raising awareness of its impact on mental health and wellness. The 24-year-old foundation provides communities with tools, healing techniques and resources such as the Creative Arts to provide a gateway to complete wellness. In a nutshell, the foundation aims to ease the impact that trauma has on Black children, families and community members.
