To celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth, the NPQ team brings together the stories we’ve published that celebrate Black culture and success along the journey toward true freedom. In the article, “One Nation Under a Groove: How to Build a Black Future Through Strong, Black-Led Community Organizations”, Shawn Ginwright of Flourish Agenda, Inc. highlights how, to strive for the future we want, Black nonprofit leaders must lean into the practice of Black future thinking and action, creating new paradigms to address our ongoing problems: https://bit.ly/3ujzLgb

Wow! The energy in Philly is shining brightly! A huge shoutout to the brilliant students, our inspiring Akili Fellows, and the dedicated school and community leaders for sharing their experiences of Camp Akili and highlighting the need to continue this vital work. This is just the beginning of Akili's journey in Philly! #CampAkili #Philadelphia #TogetherWeFlourish #youthdevelopment #HCE #healing #CARMA #healingcenteredengagement
Director of Parent Advocacy & Engagement at Children First | M.Ed Candidate, Harvard Graduate School of Education |
Today, I had the privilege of testifying before the Board of Education and Dr. Watlington of The School District of Philadelphia in support of the continuation of Camp Akili Philly in partnership with the Office of Prevention, Intervention, and Trauma and Flourish Agenda, Inc.. Here's an excerpt from my testimony: "Across the school year, 197,000 students walk into their schools with backpacks, the invisible kind, with their burdens. Many of them carry very heavy loads that should never be carried by children or youth. Yet, the fact remains that they do. That load is disproportionally felt in communities that have been divested from and, in many instances, abandoned, making it all the more clear while our young people are in a state of crisis. Let's be honest: those communities are overwhelmingly Black, and it's not because they are inherently misguided, deficient, or lazy. Instead, it is because, like many of us in this room, they need investment, the real kind that believes in their potential and fights to ensure they get what they need-holistically. I deeply believe Camp Akili is a part of that equation. At Camp Akili, I got to see the evolution of what happens when you create a space that is filled with commitment, love, and mutual accountability. And what unfolds is - kids are given the space to be kids and are provided with a safe haven to exist. Unfortunately, for Black children in this city, that is often not a reality." I wanted to publicly thank Dr. Jayme Banks, Psy.D, MBA for her and her team's leadership in ensuring our youth have asset-based, culturally relevant, and accessible options to healing that extend beyond the status quo of mental health offerings. The Camp Akili Philly team has always been deeply indebted to Dr. Shawn Ginwright and Nedra Ginwright for their labor of love that created the magic that Camp Akili is-over three decades ago. We are incredibly thankful that you all chose to expand in Philly, and we hope to keep making you all proud and, most importantly, bringing healing-centered engagement to our little sisters and brothers across Philadelphia. What exactly is Camp Akili, anyway? Check out this video from Camp Akili Philly 2023. P.S. Thank you to my smart boss, donna cooper, who has taught me so much about making things happen for kids and having the integrity to do what is right for kids even when it's unpopular.

Let's take a sec to reflect on this epic moment on Philly's block when Dr. Shawn Ginwright and Senator Vincent J. Hughes linked up this past summer. Man, we wish we could've been there, soaking up the wisdom as these heavy-hitters brainstormed how HCE could light up our city's youth. Now, picture this, fam: Healing Centered Engagement, that's like the secret sauce for our streets. It's all about love, support, and unity. With your backing, we can infuse our community with that healing energy. So, let's roll up our sleeves, join forces, and watch the magic unfold. It's in our hands to make a difference in these streets! #HealingCenteredEngagement #FlourishAgenda #CampAkiliPhillyStyle #TransformingPhiladelphia #HolisticHealing #CommunityEmpowerment #CreatingChange #JoinTheMovement #flourishtogether
