The Play Equity Movement

At the Bahati Foundation, we firmly believe in the transformative power of Play Equity – the notion that every young individual deserves access to sports and play opportunities, regardless of their background, zip code, gender, or socioeconomic status.

Our B/Smart Cycle outreach program addresses Play Equity head-on by providing underrepresented youth with the means to engage in sports and play that can shape their futures.

We envision a Los Angeles and a nation where inner-city youth have access to Play Equity alone with quality educational opportunities. We seek to create options for mobility through biking that is safe and convenient in their communities.

Message From Our Founder

"Being a product of schools in Compton and Los Angeles, I realize that inner-city students face a huge lack of resources and access to educational opportunities. I have a deep passion for GiveBACK, which is at the core of our foundation’s mission. We seek to inspire, motivate and engage youth through cycling and other outreach opportunities. We can make a difference and exceed our mission with your support."
