About the event

Family!

Imagine a day bursting with vibrant energy, a kaleidoscope of color, the echo of laughter, the unity of voices, and the enveloping warmth of community spirit. That's what we're stirring up with our upcoming event, "Back to Being You - Fruits of the Spirit." It's not just another community gathering - it's a renaissance of self, community, and heritage, a day of rediscovery and reconnection.

This event is a symphony of healing music, enlightening presentations, and an infusion of shared wisdom. Picture this: soothing notes floating on the breeze, enriching our minds and souls, while engaging talks inspire thoughts, stir emotions, and prompt smiles of realization. We've created a platform where stories merge, connections are formed, and we realize that we're more alike than different. It's a forum where you can just be you, unapologetically and authentically.

Now, let's stir in some magic. Imagine a space where change is not only welcomed but celebrated. Where you'll feel the buzz of transformation rippling through the crowd, and new visions are born from conversations and shared experiences. We're kindling a beacon of change, encouraging everyone to step into the light, to inspire and be inspired.

But this isn't only about change, it's also about reconnection - reconnection with our roots, with our rich cultural heritage that has been woven over centuries. We're creating a tapestry of tradition and innovation, a blend of old and new. From traditional dances to culinary delights, from age-old stories to innovative art forms, we celebrate our heritage in a vibrant, interactive showcase.

Now, we want you to be a part of this joyous family. The doors of this event are open to everyone - young and old, newcomers and old-timers. This is more than a celebration; it's a united front, a collective journey. We're not just sharing food and music; we're sharing dreams, triumphs, and hopes for a brighter tomorrow.

So, come join us, bring your family, your friends, and your neighbors. Step into a space where you can let go, laugh, dance, dream, and truly be yourself. Because at the end of the day, this event is about coming back to being you, appreciating the fruits of the spirit, and creating memories that we'll cherish for a lifetime.

Mark your calendars, pull out your African or casual attire, and get ready to be a part of something magical. A day where we come together not just as a community, but as a family, celebrating life, love, and the joy of being ourselves. It's more than an event; it's a movement, a wave of positivity and celebration.

This is our chance to create a brighter future, to inspire and be inspired, and to celebrate our community in all its diversity and beauty. And we can't wait to share this day with you.

Are you ready for an unforgettable experience? Because it's time to come back to being you. It's time for the Fruits of the Spirit.

See you there!

We still advocate on their behalf

 Imperial Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio, was once home to a tragic and gruesome series of murders between 2007 and 2009. Eleven women were found dead, all strangled, and their bodies abandoned in and around the home of murderous hands.

The case came to light in 2009 when the first two bodies were discovered and eventually led to the arrest of a resident, Anthony Sowell, who was charged and convicted of multiple counts of murder and assault. We still advocate on their behalf.

The Imperial Avenue murders sent shockwaves through the Cleveland community and brought harsh light to the shortcomings of local law enforcement in handling missing persons. The victims' families had been searching for their loved ones for months, but their pleas for help had gone unanswered. We still advocate on their behalf.

The senseless act on Imperial Avenue highlights the devastating consequences of systemic neglect. It serves as a haunting reminder of the importance of advocating, especially for marginalized and at-risk people, regardless of race, gender, creed, or religion. The case also underscores the need for ongoing efforts to improve missing person investigations and to bring justice to the victims and their families.

The bodies of the 11 victims found in and around Sowell's home were Tonia Carmichael, Tishana Culver, Michelle Mason, Kim Yvette Smith, Diane Turner, Leshanda Long, Nancy Cobbs, Janice Webb, Telacia Fortson, Crystal Dozier, Amelda Hunter

Sowell was convicted on 83 counts, including murder and kidnapping, and sentenced to death in 2011. As GBG members and for this community, we will continue to advocate on their behalf.

The tragedy of Imperial Avenue has had a lasting impact on the Cleveland community, where residents continue to grapple with the memory of the murdered women and the senseless violence in their neighborhood. It also highlights the issue of missing and murdered Indigenous women and the systemic failures that often prevent justice from being served in such cases. It has had a lasting impact on this community, and it's time to move into a place of healing and revitalization.

In conclusion, the story of Imperial Avenue is a reminder of the ongoing struggle to end violence against communities, women, and children.

We still advocate on their behalf.

Join us in our vision to restore this community in 2023! We need your help.
