We’re still reflecting on the impact of “Broken Silence – Healing Black Men, Protecting Black Women” and are deeply grateful to every volunteer, mental health professional, partner, and community member who helped make it possible.

Now, we invite the community to join us this Sunday for the 5th Annual AS WE WORSHIP Gospel Brunch Experience. This is a FREE brunch, open to the public, and an opportunity to come together in faith, fellowship, and support of a meaningful cause. This year, our focus is on mental health, and our goal is to raise $8,500 to help eliminate barriers for Black men who are ready to do the work and seek counseling services.

Come be with us. Come break bread with us. Come stand with us.

Join us for the 5th Annual AS WE WORSHIP Experience, a community gathering centered on worship, healing, mental health awareness, and collective care.

This year, we are raising $8,500 to help eliminate financial barriers for Black men seeking mental health support. As our community continues the work of addressing domestic violence, trauma, silence, and healing, AS WE WORSHIP creates space for faith, fellowship, brunch, and restoration.

This year’s experience will feature renowned artist Tia P. and Dr. Rob J. Thrash IV, who leads worship at The A.R.M.E.D. Church and Faithful Central Bible Church.

Space is limited. RSVP is required for all guests so we can prepare an accurate count for brunch.

Come with us. Come heal with us. Come stand with us.

⛓️‍💥 Pain left untreated does not disappear. It spills into homes, relationships, and communities.

Broken Silence – Healing Black Men, Protecting Black Women is a fully immersive public program confronting domestic violence through victim stories, a silent listening experience, and honest community engagement. The intention is clear: move Black men from silence to healing, from avoidance to accountability, and from pain to action.

Counselors will be on-site, including Black male clinicians prepared to offer a minimum of three counseling sessions to men in attendance who are ready to begin the work.

Black men deserve healing. Black women and children deserve safety. Our community deserves both. Accommodations available.
