There is a new business in Albany helping kids overcome adversity.

We Are Revolutionary was founded to address adverse childhood experiences by empowering communities through political education and self-development.

The business was created by Lukee Forbes, who was in jail at the age of 15 and served seven years, and Qubilah Sales, who faced a difficult childhood due to her parents’ divorce.

We are Revolutionary focuses on addressing the roof causes of adverse childhood experiences such as mass incarceration, poverty, poor family dynamics and racism.

Through its work, the business aims to break the cycle of adversity by providing access to transformative educational, cultural and global experiences that foster resilience and broaden horizons.
