“Healing Generations” – Boys and Men of Color Summit
In support of President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper initiative that will help young men of color stay on track and gain opportunities to reach their full potential, the Alliance for Boys and Men of Color is presenting its fourth annual Boys and Men of Color (BMoC) Summit: Healing Generations, April 10-12.
The Alliance has partnered with the California Assembly Select Committee on the Status of Boys and Men of Color to engage the community in a hearing on how to reduce disparities among young men of color. It will address topics such as health, educational equity, juvenile justice, and workforce development.
Both local and state experts will speak to what policies have been most effective for Latino and African American boys and young men. The hearing will also give youth the opportunity to voice their concerns about the success of current systems targeted to boys and men of color, and how to best connect young people to jobs and other opportunities.
“It is imperative that we have this gathering. For the first time, we have the Select Committee hearing to promote healthier outcomes [for young men of color],” said Sammy Nunez, Executive Director of Fathers & Families of San Joaquin, a member organization with the Alliance recognized by the White House as a successful model for young men of color.
“It’s really about healing the community,” he said.
The hearing will be held on Thursday, April 10 from 8 a.m. to noon at Health Plan of San Joaquin, 7751 S. Manthey Road in French Camp.
The 3-day event will also include a “Hip Hopera” open mic, workshops, and a 5K Heart and Spirit Run

On Saturday, April 19, the San Francisco Business and Professional Women’s Club (SFBPWC) held its sold-out 44th Annual Sojourner Truth Awards and Scholarship Luncheon at the Southeast Community Center at 1550 Evans Ave. in San Francisco.
The luncheon’s theme was “Moving Forward with a Purpose: From Trailblazers to Game Changers.”
This year’s well-deserved award recipients were women who graciously and continuously have served and empowered the Bayview community and beyond.
Carol Evora Tatum received the National Sojourner Truth Meritorious Service Award for her decades of leadership and dedicated community service.
Brittany Doyle, founder and CEO of WISE Health SF, was honored as the Businesswoman of the Year because of her insightful and innovative business acumen regarding community-centered health programs.
La Shon A. Walker was recognized as the Professional Woman of the Year for her community empowerment and leadership work as the vice president of Community Affairs at FivePoint.
The luncheon also provides an opportunity to present scholarships to well-deserving students. The scholarship awardees were Jayana Harbor and Zari Moore, both graduating from Immaculate Conception Academy, and London Robinson, who is graduating from Raoul Wallenberg Traditional High School.
Harbor plans to attend Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland; Moore will attend Loyola University in New Orleans, and Robinson will attend Southern University and A&M College in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
“The 44th Annual Sojourner Truth Awards and Scholarship Luncheon is more than a celebration,” said Cheryl Smith, president of SFBPWC. “It’s a tribute to the legacy of Black women who have paved the way and made a commitment to uplifting future generations.
