# ACMM Framework™

> The Applied Cultural Meaning and Memory Framework (ACMM Framework™) — a narrative methodology by Anneshia Hardy exploring how culture, memory, and meaning shape belief, behavior, and collective power.

The ACMM Framework™ is a long-horizon interpretive practice rooted in Black Southern cultural traditions. It works at the intersection of cultural memory, narrative strategy, and movement infrastructure — moving beyond messaging to the meaning that makes belief and behavior possible.
