- @Raafaye Ali mentorship, offer free design classes teaching software allowing them to get a sense of how you go through various steps of design from strategy, research, from mood boards, types of questions to ask clients, understand various steps and how to safe guard themselfs from exploitation being mistreated
- Offer dedicated probono time to projects for local marginalised businesses and community projects, offer paid internships or free talks, offer opportunities to help uplift marginalised creatives portfolios by working on one of their projects/ideas utilise positive discrimination to select placements for internships such as affirmative action in America. Reach out to those marginalised communities by going into their schools universities etc, partner up with youth organisations, have a pot of money put aside which are cut from profits that pour back into these types of initiatives show transparency as to where your profits go into and how they are about taking real action rather then just expecting them to find you
