Rooted in community. Powered by purpose.
Our Mission
At Familia Noire, our mission is to build bridges of solidarity, creativity, and support across our communities.
We exist to empower youth, protect families, and amplify purpose-driven voices—through both direct action and expressive platforms.
“We are a sanctuary for the overlooked. A voice for the silenced. A movement by us, for us.”
Our Story
Born in Riverside, CA moving to Houston, TX with roots in resilience, Familia Noire started as a vision to bring people together across neighborhoods, backgrounds, and disciplines.
Founder Lloyd Howell IV combined heart-centered leadership with creative firepower to launch a hybrid model blending nonprofit outreach and a for-profit creative house—so our impact can be felt on the ground and in the airwaves.
