We will explore tools, frameworks and strategies that we can use to continue to pull up for our folks and resource our power to heal our communities.” Website link at bottom: www.beam.community/events Three circular headshots of the speakers are displayed at the top against a dark purple background, with yellow borders.

A graphic with a collage of four disabled people in color layered over a black-and-white background of a protest with people holding megaphones and signs. The individuals include a person with teal hair wearing a shirt that reads "I AM MY ANCESTORS' WILDEST DREAMS," a person in a gray sweater, a man in glasses and a vest, and a woman in a red dress using a wheelchair. Large bold text reads: “Disability Justice is Healing Justice and Requires Protection.” At the bottom is the BEAM logo with the words “Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective.”
This #DisabilityPrideMonth, we celebrate resistance as much as pride. Federal rollbacks threaten ADA enforcement, benefits, education and care.
This isn’t reform—it’s harm.
At BEAM, we know: Disability Justice is Healing Justice—and it requires protection.

In Atlanta, we gathered for Heart Space—to learn to sit with our grief.
Grief has no timeline. No rules.
It’s not always an end—sometimes it’s a beginning.
It’s heavy, yes—but also a sign we’ve loved deeply.

Graphic titled "Best Practices to Hold Space for Grief" on a soft blue gradient background. The text emphasizes that we don’t need to rescue people from grief but rather let them move through their journey. It encourages sitting with your own discomfort and honoring the grief of children and others by being transparent and honest. It advises against the belief that children shouldn't be involved in adult matters, noting that children can sense distress. The final section affirms that grieving animal companions is valid and that their absence can have a lasting impact. The BEAM (Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective) logo appears in the bottom right corner.
Graphic titled “Feel it to Heal it: Tips on Grief” with a soft blue gradient background. It provides two main tips. The first tip notes that people withdrawing or being less present with family might be expressing unspoken grief. Suggestions include bringing them a plate or not forcing conversation. The second tip encourages checking in and allowing sadness, including acknowledging the loss. It recommends honoring a person, pet, or experience by remembering their legacy, uplifting them in prayer, and normalizing grief. A sample phrase is included: “I can’t believe they’re still not here,” which reflects processing loss. The BEAM (Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective) logo appears in the bottom right corner.
Feel it to Heal it: Tips on Grief Ask for consent before posting or discussing the loss. Before playing videos, pictures, tagging people's memories on social media. Be okay with folks walking away from conversations and creating boundaries. While it may not have been your intention to cause discomfort, it's important to do our best to minimize it when it arises. Consider checking in with the family member afterward to offer support.
Join us tomorrow in ATL for reflection, community & care. Explore our grief tool and support BEAM’s work.

Illustration of a colorful graffiti mural on a brick wall that reads, “BEAM Builds Ecosystems of Care.” The words are bold and vibrant, surrounded by painted flowers and greenery. On the left, a Black person sits cross-legged in meditation, wearing a flower crown. On the right, another person sits in a prayer pose, and a third stands on a ladder painting the mural. The bottom of the image features the BEAM logo, which stands for Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective.
The background is a painted brick wall with flowers and greenery in the corners. Over a teal paint splash is bold black text that reads: “BEAM BUILDS ECO-SYSTEMS OF CARE for Black and exploited communities. We train, fund and resource alternative wellness and care systems through a network of therapists, healers, wellness practitioners and community leaders across the world.” The BEAM logo appears at the bottom.
Care is our legacy.
From kitchen tables to healing circles, we’ve always built what we need to heal.
At BEAM, we’re resourcing wellness rooted in culture, justice and collective care.

In the South, where masculinity often means silence, Black men and masculine folks gathered—not to posture, but to process.
We’re unlearning toxic scripts and making room for softness, grief, joy, and truth.

To heal.
To rest.
To love.
To set boundaries.
Liberation is personal, too.

Graphic by BEAM (Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective) for Father's Day. The right side has the BEAM logo and the text: "Today on Father's Day I am celebrating ____" in bold blue letters. The left side features three images stacked vertically: a smiling Black father with his son hugging him from behind, a father teaching his son to play guitar, and a father reading a book with his young daughter. The design invites viewers to reflect on and name who or what they are celebrating on Father's Day.
Dear Black Man, we see you.
Father, father figure, healing or holding it down—your presence matters.
Your joy, effort, growth, and grief are valid.
Today, we honor Black fatherhood in all its forms.
