The Pax Crew was conceived in 2017 by 5 young creatives living & working in NYC: Wesley, Hawwa, Kade, Gabriel, and sol. We united through our shared passion to support the change happening in the communities around us. What began with a convergence of ideas & energy, grew into a web of partnerships & connection. Through a series of dialogues we created a lasting bond as friends, colleagues, comrades. In 2019, we formally organized our company, which continues as a living & breathing practice of love, learning, collaboration & transformation.

What key ingredients have been most influential? Creativity. Hope. Open minds & hearts. Loving confidence.
We believe that humans are beautiful & our diversity matters. We believe in creating spaces where folx feel free to be themselves & make mistakes & work through bias feeling safe. Our commitment to freedom amplifies our abilities to help people — whether 2 or two hundred — grapple with problems that seem impossible.
—Hawwa Muhammad, Founding Crew Member
The Pax Crew is a growing collective with community spaces on both U.S. coasts. We offer leadership consulting, facilitation, and curriculum design.

KEY: the plant = the crew, leaves = media/storytelling, baby plants = the book, spores = curriculum, roots = our collective ancestors/histories, flowers = swag, sun = partnerships, water + soil = human centered design, compost = finances
