Hey Fam!
I just want to start by saying a big thank you for being part of our community. Your involvement means everything to us and it’s what keeps us going. We're all about making a real impact on the lives we touch and having you on board makes that mission even more meaningful.
Our Mission – Walking the Talk
At the EGF, our mission runs deep. We’re all about tearing down those barriers that hold the Black community back and fighting for true equality. Our values? Community, excellence, courage, and shaking things up. Every single day, we’re out here creating spaces where everyone feels safe, heard, and empowered. This isn’t just talk—it’s a commitment, to you and to everyone we serve.
What’s Been Happening Lately
Herbal Sensory Workshop: We recently got together with the kiddos at the Future Front House in Austin for a special day of learning and fun. With the help of the amazing @mamamangos, we made sensory jars that lit up the room and sparked some serious curiosity. Our community advocate - Selikem Nelson of SelNel's Sensory Playgroup provided some amazing resources and tools to parents with neurodivergent children. It was a blast, and the energy was contagious!
Twist, Braid & Bond Workshop: At TwoRooted Salon, we turned a regular Sunday into a bonding extravaganza. Parents and kids came together to learn about hair care and styling, strengthening our connections through shared experiences. It was all laughs and learning, and I couldn’t have been prouder of our community.
Winter Break, Meal Kit Drive: Last November, we showed just how strong our community is, with an incredible food drive. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide meal kits to families from Manor Elementary School, making sure nobody went hungry over the winter break.
Let’s Keep the Conversation Going!
I’d love for you to join us online and be part of the conversation. Follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn to stay in the loop about what we’re up to and how you can get involved. Your voice matters, and together, we can make an even bigger impact. I’m pumped for what’s next and I know we can achieve even more with your support. Thanks for being on this journey with us. Let’s keep pushing forward, side by side.
With tons of gratitude and respect,
Valencia W.
