A Love Letter to Hip Hop: Lyrical Explosion Paint Party Join us for a blast from the past as we journey back to the iconic era of the 90s with "A Love Letter to Hip Hop"!

Our community is made up of people from all different backgrounds, and we believe that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. However, we know that not everyone in our community feels equally included or welcomed. That's why we want to start a conversation about how we can take steps to make our community more inclusive and welcoming for people from diverse backgrounds.

Join the conversation now!

What steps can we take to make sure that people from diverse backgrounds feel at home in our community? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

Learning about and respecting different cultures is crucial for creating a harmonious and tolerant society. By understanding and appreciating the traditions, values, and beliefs of people from diverse backgrounds, we can foster empathy, build connections, and promote inclusivity. Moreover, learning about different cultures can broaden our perspectives, challenge our assumptions, and help us see the world from different angles.

Here are 5 important things of learning about and respecting different cultures:

Did you know that about 1 in 3 U.S. adults, some 70 million people, have a criminal record, including those who were arrested but not convicted?

This record can keep individuals from receiving jobs, homes, and educational opportunities.
In law, “expungement” is the process by which a record of criminal conviction is destroyed or sealed from state or federal records.

Building Black Leaders in Connection with South Carolina Legal Services is hosting Expunging Your Past: An Expungement and Pardon Guide for South Carolina Residents.
During this event we will cover the difference between an expungement and a pardon, how to find out if you are eligible, steps to create a successful application, how to qualify for SC Legal Services assistance, and even apply for financial help through Building Black Leaders Grants.

As human beings, we have a moral and ethical responsibility to take care of the world we live in and leave it in a better condition for future generations. This means taking action to address various issues such as climate change, inequality, poverty, and environmental degradation, to name a few.

Building strong communities is an essential step in fulfilling this obligation because communities play a crucial role in shaping the world we live in. A strong community can provide its members with a sense of belonging and support, which is essential for human well-being. By promoting a culture of inclusivity, empathy, and mutual assistance, communities can create a more compassionate and just society.

A family day celebration is a special occasion to bring together family members, have fun, and create cherished memories.
