Anuwai Life Village is the philanthropic and social inclusiveness division of Live Long Enterprises, Inc. It was established in 2018 by Dr. Kennesha Bracely to honor the life and legacy of her son Dante Long, who passed away at age 19. This US-based 501(c)3 serves individuals residing within the state of Florida; and internationally. The Vision is to be an extension of artistic culture that develops a village that empowers and provides professional and healthy tools to artists as they pursue their passion in all genres of art: visual art, dance, literature, writing, performance, film, digital media, music, video, and curatorial projects around the world.

 

Our mission is to create accessibility to safe, socially inclusive residential communities, provide resources, professional development, and civic engagement programs that support emerging artists with and without disabilities as they pursue careers in various art genres. We strive to enhance these emerging artists' quality of life by supporting artistic culture by providing accessible, safe, socially inclusive spaces, communities, resources, and professional development. "Anuwai" is an African term that means freedom. Individuals that we assist aspire to visualize, perform, and speak professionally as artists.
