DMV Black Man Support Check-In
2026-02-12 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | GA
This isn’t a webinar or a formal lecture—it’s a digital sanctuary designed for Black men in the DMV (and beyond) to pull up, exhale, and engage in the kind of honest dialogue that helps us grow.
Whether you’re a professional navigating the corporate grind, an entrepreneur building a legacy, a father leading a household, or a student finding your way, you belong here.
What to Expect:
The Check-In: A guided wellness pulse-check—how are you really doing?
The Breakdown: An open, moderated discussion on navigating life, mental health, and the unique challenges of being a Black man today.
Toolbox Talk: Practical strategies for emotional wellness and accountability.
The Unwind: Virtual networking and a chance to build real connections with men who have your back.
The Vibes:
No Capes: Leave the “superhero” armor at the door.
No Ego: We’re all works in progress.
All Support: Accountability and brotherhood are the goals.
This is a free, virtual event that takes place every two weeks!

Wherever you are on life’s journey, there are times when it can feel impossible to commit to a recurring program like a workshop series. Radical Writing Space is our answer to this conundrum of wanting to attend for some radical self-care, but struggling to commit.
Clinical studies have documented the healing psychological and psychical impacts of writing within a safe and sacred space. On the second Friday of each month, drop in for one hour for Radical Writing Space and join us for inspiring writing prompts, time to write, and time to share with one another about your experience of putting your most radical emotions, feelings, and experiences on paper.
The part that makes this writing so “radical” is that we create a safe space for it all — raw feelings, emotions, experiences — and, together, we give voice to them in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
This healing program offers a place for supporting one another and we stay clear of writing critique. Come and experience writing and sharing together.
