Building Strong Black Families Together
At Sabathani Community Center, we are proud to launch Roots: The Black Family Foundation, a transformative series of activities designed to strengthen Black families. In 2025, we are partnering with Dr. Rose Brewer, Kente Circle, and Carmen Lewis of Black Brilliance to offer biweekly classes, monthly forums, and opportunities for parents to connect and share.
Current and upcoming activities include the Black Family Wellness Healing Circles and The Black Family Course. We’ll also offer a variety of activities such as movie and game nights, group outings, and more. Fill out our interest form for updates.
