BLK JOY FESTIVAL

BLK JOY Festival is our signature event + it is an opportunity for the community to come together to center joy while creating a sense of community. We  host this event alongside local social service organizations and small businesses with a focus on wellness, music, art + food, and vendors to help curate joy for attendees.

DIGITAL EDUCATION

Through social media, the Commission engages with community members by sharing current information on various illnesses, specifically COVID-19 and current events  impact the Black communities more than other races. The Commission also takes the opportunity to educate the audience and provide historical context on matters that affect the overall health of Black individuals in America.
