What Has YCD Been Up To?
This blog post was originally shared on YCD newsletter on 03/08/2024
As we enter March, we're thrilled to embrace the spirit of Women's History Month. This month serves as a reminder of the contributions and enduring legacies of women throughout history. From advocating for gender equality to championing social justice causes, women have played pivotal roles in shaping our world. Let us celebrate their achievements, amplify their voices, and continue our commitment to fostering a more inclusive and equitable society for all.
“Each time a woman stands up for herself, without knowing it possibly, without claiming it, she stands up for all women.”
February was full of celebrations!
In February, Mrs. Hattie hosted a Black History Month Pop-Up Come-Up Wednesday where folks had a lunch then enjoyed a painting session. They also teamed up with other community organizations to celebrate Lunar New Year with a Job Fair!
50th Anniversary Mural Unveiling
Last month, we had the pleasure of unveiling our brand new mural to commemorate 50 years in community, painted by legendary Bayview Native, Malik Seneferu. Shout out to all of our folks that came and showed love.
Head to our IG to watch the behind the scenes video and see what went into creating this special masterpiece.
