Art is activism. Creating art that inspires us to resist and reimagine helps the movement for care and healing justice to continue. Here is a very small sneak peek of some projects the BEAM team has been working on!!!! Stay tuned for more!!! There even might be some giveaways coming….👀

What’s happening in Sudan is not just a political crisis—it’s a human one. Displacement. Violence. Disconnection from care and home. As healers, organizers, and community members, we recognize that healing justice must be global. Our liberation is bound together.

Last week in Atlanta, BEAM gathered community for the Black Masculinity (Re)imagined Summit. Together we shared moments of connection through sound baths, healing circles, sacred pauses, and meals — creating space to rest, reflect, and reimagine what masculinity can mean for Black folks.

When is the last time you checked-in with yourself to evaluate how you show up for Black women? On World Suicide Prevention Day, we center the care, protection, and healing of Black women.

What happens when Black men and Black masculine folks of ALL GENDERS come together to rewrite the story of masculinity? On Sept 14 in Atlanta, BEAM’s Black Masculinity (Re)imagined Summit is creating space for truth, healing, and liberation. A day of power, peace, and possibility.

This September at BEAM!  We're diving deep into Herbalism & Black Farming as Healing and Resistance—rooted in legacy, liberation, and community care. From powerful Heart Space gatherings to Black Masculinity Reimagined and Healing Justice in HR, we’re reclaiming our wellness, one event at a time.

What if HR was more than just rules and policies? These are the questions our leadership team has grappled with, and worked to integrate healing-centered practices into a field often designed for punishment and rigidity.

✨ NYC Casting Call ✨ We’re looking for Black, queer, and trans models of all body sizes who feel comfortable in front of the camera to be part of BEAM’s upcoming campaign.

When we say Black, we mean EVERYBODY Black.  Blackness is not one story, one language, or one flag. It spans across continents, cultures, and histories — including the voices, brilliance, and resilience of Black immigrants in the United States.

Parenting is powerful, but it can also be overwhelming, especially while managing mental health. Black and marginalized parents and caregivers — we see you, and we’re here to support you. BEAM is giving out $10,000 in direct financial support through The Parent Support Fund!

Did somebody say Flashback Friday??? POV: You brought your full self to Black Healing Remixed and captured it on film. Remember back in the day before camera phones? When you had to snap your film camera hoping you got the shot to cherish the memory? That’s how this year’s BHR felt—so full, so alive

This Juneteenth, BEAM made big contributions to our folks by supporting families across the nation — and we’re just getting started! In our continued effort to uplift and empower Black families, here’s a quick look at the change we’ve made so far:

Tomorrow’s the day! 💜 BEAM is bringing the Heart Space Healing Circle to Pasadena for the very first time, and we couldn’t be more excited. We want you to join us on Tuesday, August 19th for this very special moment. Come as you are. 🫶🏾 #Pasadena #Altadena #BlackHealing

What’s Heart Space all about? It’s where folks come to breathe, feel and heal—together. Where we build on the practices of Indigenous and African culture to hold collective space for healing. Created by @yoloakili + @natalieispoetry, Heart Space is a Black-led healing circle with real tools.

We’re bringing Black Masculinity (Re)Imagined to ATL!! Created for Black men and masculine folks in the wellness space, Black Masculinity Reimagined invites you to reconnect while shattering the stigma around vulnerability, unlearning shame, patriarchy and dismantling the pressure to perform.

What’s up fam?! We’re excited to announce that our team will be shifting our monthly Heart Space from Inglewood to Pasadena. BEAM aims to answer the call to show up and be present with joy, resources, and tools to promote the strength and resilience of the Pasadena community.

Leadership rooted in healing hits different. Join us tomorrow, Aug 6th for Emotionally Intelligent Leadership 101 — a virtual training for Black leaders & organizers who are committed to healing justice! 1–3PM PT / 4–6PM ET RSVP: beam.community/events #HealingJustice #LiberatedLeadership

Protect Trans youth. Period. Trans and nonbinary young people deserve safety, joy, and futures full of possibility—not policies rooted in fear and control. Whether it’s at school, at home, or in the community—we all have a role to play in making sure Trans youth are seen, supported and protected.

Our Creative Projects Manager, Skye Barclay, breaks down The Black Virtual Wellness Directory- a space to find Black wellness practitioners across mental health, bodywork, breath-work, energy healing, and more. It’s built for us—so you don’t have to navigate your healing alone. Healing is communal.

The last Episode of Season Two is here fam, and Dr. Evan Auguste is bringing us home! Join us for this brilliant episode where Dr. Evan joins our Executive Director Yolo Akili and breaks down the legacy of healing in Ayiti, Ancestral healing, Black Masculinity and much more.

When the world sees us as commodity, we lean into connection and community—especially family. BEAM’s GLOW model helps us care with intention and clarity. It’s a tool to help us think, how can I pour into and support family wherever they are in their healing journey?

This Black August, we honor the legacy of Black revolutionaries—and the parents & caregivers passing that legacy on. As a new school year begins, we see you teaching truth, holding space, and nurturing power in systems that often don’t. See all out events here: tinyurl.com/2t58uuvs

Healing is a family matter. Through our Parent Support Fund, we’ve given nearly $60K to parents living with mental health conditions—or raising kids who are. When care is scarce, we build it—rooted in love, dignity, and healing justice. This is care in motion. beam.kindful.com?campaign=136...

Join us for a powerful conversation on how we can protect and support our communities right where we are. We’re diving deep into what healing justice really looks like in action—and how each of us has a role to play. www.eventbrite.com/e/when-the-s...

"No matter what's going on, there's always a reason to smile. I guarantee you can find at least one reason to smile. And if for some reason you can't find a reason to smile, then that's probably the best time to be the reason for somebody else to smile." - Malcolm-Jamal Warner #RestinPower

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. #HealingJustice #BEAMWellness

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. #BEAMWellness #HeartSpace

At BEAM, we believe healing takes nourishment—of the heart and the body. Since expanding Heart Space, we’ve gathered with 500+ community members to share meals, reflect and begin their healing journeys. Because care looks like presence and a plate. 💛 Donate today: beam.kindful.com?campaign=136...

Grief doesn’t just follow loss—it follows change. We grieve loved ones. We grieve places, plans, jobs, relationships. We grieve who we used to be. But grief isn’t linear. It comes in waves, asks us to slow down, to feel. This July, we make space to honor it. www.eventbrite.com/o/beam-black...

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. #BEAMWellness #CollectiveHealing

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. #BEAMWellness #MensHealthMonth #BlackMasculinityReimagined
