Sistas! In need of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love? We are! Come join us and our friends December 13th - 24th as we pray and press our way to the celebration of Jesus Christ’s incarnation during our Advent Morning Prayer Series.

Advent is celebrated by Believers all over the world yearning for Christ’s second coming as they make spiritual preparation for Christmas, the celebration of Jesus’ holy birth. No matter the real sorrow in our hearts, confusion in the world, and weight of disbelief, God is with us. Jesus is the light of the world and Advent reminds us even in the darkest hour of night, Joy has and will come in the morning.

“The Light Shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:5

This event will take place exclusively in the Facebook Discipleship Group!

As we sit down to feast and gather with family today, let us not forget the true history of this country. We honor the presence and power of our Indigenous neighbors. Their stories, tradition, and history are never to be forgotten.

Let us never forget that Indigenous people were here and they are still here. This land is NOT our land.

In Today - On Tuesday, advisers to the Food and Drug Administration will review a gene therapy for the sickle cell, which in the U.S. mostly affects Black people. The only cure for the disease today is a bone marrow transplant. If approved by the FDA, it would be the first gene therapy on the U.S. market based on CRISPR, the gene editing tool that won its inventors the Nobel Prize in 2020.

ICYMI: In the our most recent episode, we had a live recording with Dr. Rashawn, Aloe Blacc, Dr. Terrance McNeil and Dr. Melissa Collins at the National Museum of African-American Music in Nashville, at the event, “AIR Equity Initiative Pathways to Peace: Reimagining the Future of Public Safety for Youth and Communities.”

We discuss racial equity, activism, and the need to dismantle systemic barriers so that Black children can thrive and dream. We also discuss school safety from elementary school to the college classroom.

Sistas, what do you think of this news?

The Food and Drug Administration is proposing a ban on using the chemical formaldehyde as an ingredient in hair relaxers, citing its link to cancer and other long-term adverse health effects.

The new rule proposed by the federal agency would ban relaxers and go into effect April 2024.

The proposed rule takes a large step in raising awareness about the potential harm that formaldehyde creates for the many Black women who typically use popular straightening products, including many kinds of chemical relaxers, Brazilian blowouts and keratin treatments.

together we can find beauty and create change.

With intimate and inspiring text and powerfully stunning illustrations, Something,
Someday reveals how even the smallest gesture can have a lasting impact.
