Our Team

We Are Revolutionary was founded by Lukee Forbes and Qubilah Sales, two individuals who have faced significant adversity in their lives. The organization was founded with the goal of addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) by empowering communities through political education and self-development. Lukee Forbes, who was incarcerated at the age of 15 and served seven years, and Qubilah Sales, who faced a difficult childhood due to her parents' divorce, both share a passion for helping guide the next generation. We Are Revolutionary focuses on addressing the root causes of ACEs such as mass incarceration, poverty, poor family dynamics, and racism. Through their work, they aim to break the cycle of adversity by providing access to transformative educational, cultural, and global experiences that foster resilience and broaden horizons.
