In short about us.

We love what we do.

Tash and Derrick Billie co-founded Meant2BFree, a dual-interface platform designed for coaches and clients, aimed at enhancing the capabilities of organizations. Initially, the platform's mission was to support community-based organizations focused on financial education, enabling them to reach a broader audience. After two years of development, Meant2BFree evolved into a nonprofit organization, aligning more closely with the community's needs.

The organization's current focus is to introduce young adults to careers in technology and trades. This initiative is driven by Tash and Derrick's own professional experiences in these sectors and their passion for these fields. They are particularly motivated by the desire to increase representation of people of color in technology and trades, sectors where diversity is currently limited.
