About Us
Rooted in Legacy, Rising in Purpose
Founded after the tragic loss of Samaad Z. Frazier to gun violence, One Family, One Fight (OFOF) is a trauma-informed nonprofit built on love, resilience, and purpose.
We’re committed to creating safe spaces for healing, empowering our youth, and uniting communities in action and support.

Healing
Pillars of Impact
We believe that healing from trauma is a journey, not a destination. Through peer-led support groups, journaling, and emotional wellness practices, we create spaces where people can process grief and begin their path forward.
Youth
Pillars of Impact
Youth are not only our future, they are our present. Our programs focus on identity development, emotional intelligence, and real-world life skills to build confident, purpose-driven young leaders.
Community
Pillars of Impact
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. We believe in coming together through events, outreach, and storytelling to build safer, stronger, more connected communities.
