Founded in 2021, TBAT Taskforce is a lineage verification and cultural empowerment initiative serving the Black American Descendant community.
What began as a protective space on social media has grown into a national verification and consulting taskforce supporting communities, organizations, and individuals across the country.
We help people and institutions verify their ancestry, document their lineage, and build communities rooted in care, clarity, and cultural integrity.
Weโre not just serving the loudest voices, weโre building for the Talented Hundredth: those who may not seek the spotlight but are committed to truth, structure, and building something lasting.

TBAT founded The City as the first private, safe lineage-based community a proof of concept for what happens when our people are supported, verified, and empowered.
The City now operates independently with its own infrastructure, and serves as a model within TBATโs broader Lineage Alliance Network (LAN).
