About
Our Story
Reproductive justice and tech have been built into the way our firm works since day one. In 2005, award-winning sexual health educator Twanna A. Hines founded FUNKY BROWN CHICK, Inc., a Black-owned, woman-owned, US-based firm. Having hand-coded her first website in 1996, from <HTML> to </HTML>, these approaches have been baked into the pie, as they say. That same instinct shaped how we built the team.
Our Team
Today, 11 people carry the vision forward, via a flat leadership structure that distributes decision-making across the team.
In more ways than one, we’ve seen what our clients are facing before. We’re multigenerational: many of our team members are under 30, so we natively understand the platforms and threats our clients are navigating. Because we also have team members who’ve been around the block, we’re able to bring the kind of crystallized, long-game, lived-experience strategic insight that only comes from watching cycles play out over and over again across decades, presidents, and eras.
We don’t just aim to “do” good, we know it’s important to actually “be” good, too. Since our founding, 100+ nonprofits and foundations whose collective budgets cover $655,129,619 have chosen us.
Our Future
We believe in a better world and are actively working to build it. The patterns we documented in Three Acts of Justice haven’t stopped. If anything, they’re accelerating, through: surveillance, AI, policy, and more. With movement-aligned organizations facing both funding attacks & tech-driven threats at the same time, this is exactly the kind of moment our multigenerational team was built for. We didn’t just wait around to see how this might play out, we predicted it.
We’re already have the capacity our clients need to meet this moment. Our future-focused approach emphasizes hope and positivity. Our efforts have catalyzed positive change, impacting countless lives.
