Hello, everyone. My name is Denise Lee, and I am the Executive Director and Founder of Visions for Change. I want to start by being completely transparent - starting a non-profit organization was never my intention. It all began with a deep desire to heal my community.
A little over seven years ago, tragedy struck when four law enforcement officials were shot. In the aftermath of this devastating event, over 200 people gathered together in search of healing. We came together to talk, to listen, to learn, to grow, and most importantly, to heal. This gathering marked the birth of our first Community Conversation.
The Community Conversation program has since become a platform for opening the door to civil and respectful discussions around race, bigotry, violence, bias, and privilege. Through these conversations, we realized that there were other areas in our community that required attention and action. And so, Visions for Change, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was born.
Our organization is dedicated to creating, building, and supporting programs, activities, workshops, and art that bring us closer to a more cohesive community. We firmly believe in not only building bridges but also breaking down barriers that hinder growth, understanding, and peace. Through conversation, workshops, education, and the arts, we strive to make a positive impact.
I encourage you to explore our website and learn more about the work we do. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email at info @visionsforchange.org
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and learn more about Visions for Change.
Together, we are making a difference in our community.
Denise
To champion cultural advocacy through the arts, sparking conversations about racism and bias that challenge inequities and inspire action. We create spaces where dialogue is honest, diversity is foundational, and every voice is valued.
At Visions For Change, Inc., we believe in the power of the arts and courageous conversation to build bridges, confront bias, and create a more equitable world. Since our founding, we have brought people together across divides through storytelling, performance, and dialogue that inspires both reflection and action.
✨ Our programming includes:
Cabaret & Conversation – a unique series that blends live performance with guided dialogue, inviting audiences to experience art and then share in meaningful conversation.
Community Conversations – free, open-to-all forums where neighbors gather to discuss the issues that shape our lives and explore how we can work toward equity and understanding together.
Workshops and Special Events – designed to engage, educate, and empower people of all ages and backgrounds.
This year, our goal is to raise $30,000 through North Texas Giving Day. These funds will ensure we can continue presenting Cabaret & Conversation, sustain our Community Conversations, and expand programming that brings every voice to the table.
Visions For Change runs entirely on donations from people like you. Your generosity makes it possible for us to keep these programs free and accessible to the community.
