Join us for an unforgettable experience at the Black Mental Health Week 2024 Closing Ceremony, a vibrant celebration of "Growth and Reflection: The Year of Sankofa." This event – filled with food, vendors, music, performances, and family fun – marks the culmination of a week dedicated to mental health and wellness. Event Highlights:

• Delicious Free Food: Delight your taste buds with an array of culinary delights from a local Black vendor, celebrating the richness of Black culture through flavors.
• Vendor Village: Explore a showcase of talents and creations from local Black entrepreneurs, offering a variety of unique and culturally inspired products.
• Soulful Performances: Experience the power of expression through captivating performances, from soulful music to inspiring spoken word, celebrating the beauty of Black artistry.
• Family Fun Zone: Engage in interactive activities for all ages, fostering a sense of community and togetherness as we celebrate the strength and resilience of our families.

As we commemorate the last year of the UN International Decade for People of African Descent (UN IDPAD), this year's theme of “Growth & Reflection” emphasizes the principles of Recognition, Justice, and Development. By embracing these principles, we pave the way for enhanced mental health and wellness, creating public spaces that support restoration and break down the stigmas surrounding mental health in our communities. This closing ceremony is a testament to the collective growth and reflection that has taken place throughout the week, uniting us in a commitment to fostering positive change. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of a joyous celebration, bringing the community together to embrace growth, reflection, and the spirit of Sankofa. See you there!
