Happy September Fam,

Schools are in session and we are back.  September marks the re-launch of ALL of our support networks, including our 3 newest additions; Grandparents Support Network (GPSN), Black Educators Support Network (BESN) and our Young Adults Support Network (YASN).  We are about this Intentional Community Building LIFE!!!  Black v. Board of Education also returns September 12th with Season III in our newly redesigned podcast studio. Have you heard that we are launching our Student Media Program this month too? We are so excited to expand into all things media and teach you transferable skills that can be applied in multiple fields.  This effort is made possible through the Lifting Local Voices grant through the James B. McClatchy Foundation.  Last day to register is September 10th.  

In the last month #TeamBYLP has had the opportunity to travel to Long Beach, CA as presenters at the  Substance Use Disorder Integrated Care Conference, attend the Multicultural Festival in Elk Grove, CA,  and slid through to Detroit, MI to check in with Rep. Jewell Jones and  newly elected Compton School Board Member Denzel Perry. Check out the interview we did on Rep Jones' show THE FOUNDATION hosted on 910am Superstation-WFDF. We talked about being Neighborhood Hope Dealers,  the work we have been doing, why we have carved out our specific niche, and the importance of holding people in positions of power accountable. Keep scrolling down our homepage and make plans to meet us out in your community soon!!
