Mission

To do good and novel works

Hey there,

I’m Ezekiel Harris, and I’m passionate about leveraging social impact strategies, real estate development, and human-centered design to tackle inequality and drive meaningful change.

Raised in a family that faced significant challenges yet consistently overcame them, I learned early on the value of perseverance and the importance of giving back. These experiences taught me that making a difference extends beyond personal success to uplifting the community around you.

Through my work, I’ve come to see that while many organizations strive to address inequality and poverty, there’s a need for innovative solutions—what I call "next practices." My ongoing research and dedication to exploring new approaches to poverty alleviation drive me forward.

I look forward to connecting and collaborating on initiatives that make a meaningful difference.

Warm regards,
Ezekiel Harris
