2022 Black History Month Calendar Of Events: Health And Wellness

February 3, 2022 by
Hello Beloved Community,
 
We are ready to celebrate 2022 Black History Month! I hope each and every one of you will be a part of the four most interesting and engaging virtual events. The year’s national BHM theme is Health and Wellness throughout the African Diaspora. The 2022 theme considers activities, rituals, and initiatives that Black communities have practiced in an effort to maintain health and well being. It also takes a look at how the American healthcare system has often under served the African American.
 
The the kick off event, “Connecting the Past to the Present”  and “Hidden Figures from Black History.”  will run through the month of February at two locations, Downtown Gallery 456 (Broadway) and Chelsea Public Library.  The vast collection of photos is an eye opener to the many contributions of Blacks who remained mostly unknown by the general public.These individuals made tremendous contribution to America and deserve to be remembered. Please make it a point to visit both displays.
 
The remaining featured Calendar of Events (please refer to attachment) throughout the month will be Engaging, Educational, and Enriching. Our GRAND FINALE is always the closest celebration to our heart, “Chelsea Trailblazer” Recognition! We will roll out the Red Carpet in honoring six phenomenal men and women “hidden figures” who continue to lead, committed to community wellness and creating effective solutions for the betterment of our whole community. We will celebrate them as one!
 
So, mark the dates on your calendar and SHARE the events with your friends, family, and coworkers.  The Zoom Link (same for all events) is included at the top of the calendar page below. There is also a QR code you may access as a direct link into events on the calendar. (See attachment)
 
Chelsea Black Community is looking forward to hosting all of you at these amazing upcoming events for Black History Month 2022. Thank you! Donations accepted.

Volunteers Needed!

February 3, 2022 by
When it comes to learning a new language, conversation is a key factor to success but one that is the least accessible to new language learners. La Colaborativa’s Cafecito Hours create a risk free, safe space for our ESOL students to practice their English in a real-world setting.
“I have noticed that Cafecito Hours have changed the attitude and motivation of English learners.” says Hortencia Sanchez, ESOL & Workforce Development Coordinator. “They are more comfortable making mistakes in a setting where students like them are also learning English. The whole purpose of Cafecito is to motivate people to speak and make mistakes in order to gradually improve their English.”
If you’re interested in volunteering as a conversation partner, please email hortencias@la-colaborativa.org. No Spanish language knowledge required!

These four businesses, Emotions Apparel, Little Black Dog Accessories, Lash Empire, and aiaesthetics are making a splash – here’s what our youth have to say about their businesses in their own words:
Emotions Apparel
We started our own clothing business of 100% cotton hoodies.

Our purpose is to provide our customers with affordable sets and the feeling of being luxurious. Pre-order pup accessories here!
Lash Empire
Lash Empire is a faux eyelash brand here to make you feel confident and happy. There are many different looks you can achieve with our lashes, designed to elevate any style. Our beauty product is here to provide you with high quality lashes for an affordable price. Pre-order lashes here!
