About US - CARPE ACQUA DEI

On Juneteenth 2025, at the sacred grounds of Fort Negley in Nashville, Carpe Acqua DEI was born. We launched our mission-driven water brand where freedom fighters once stood. Fort Negley, built by formerly enslaved people who later donned Union blue, represents everything we stand for: resilience, dignity, and the courage to defend what's right.

Our Purpose
When voices proclaimed "DEI is dead," we chose a different path. Carpe Acqua DEI meaning "Embrace the Water of DEI" reclaims these powerful letters for all people. We pronounce DEI as "Day," transforming it into a life-giving force that celebrates diversity, empowers spirits, and inspires purpose. Every bottle carries this message: DEI is not dead. It flows through each of us who choose to embrace our differences and stand for human dignity.

Our Mission
We believe clean water is a human right and that business can be a force for good. Rooted in the Four Freedoms, the Constitution, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we're building more than a beverage company we're cultivating a movement. With every sip, you join us in championing Strength, Hope, and Courage while supporting freedom, country, and human rights for all.

Join the Movement
From our home in Nashville to communities across America, we invite you to Embrace Your Diversity, Empower Your Spirit, and Be Inspired. This is more than water. It's a promise. It's a prayer. It's proof that when we drink with purpose, we can refresh both body and soul.

Embrace your DAY. Embrace your Diversity. Embrace your DEI.
