July is Black Family Month! A special time for us to honor the strength, resilience and rich heritage of our families. The family is the backbone of society, playing a vital role in shaping communities and generations. It is within our families that we learn many things, such as values, life lessons, and build confidence and self-esteem. This month is the perfect time to strengthen family ties, support one another, and cultivate a sense of belonging and pride. Whether it’s cooking family recipes, going on a trip organizing a family reunion, enjoying a delicious barbecue, or having a storytelling

session with our elders, let’s make it a point to engage in activities that bring us closer.
