In Black music, a remix is a new or different version of a recorded song. Black Healing Remixed (BHR) takes this same idea and applies it to conversations on Black mental health. Just like a remix switches the treble and bass, BHR switches shame to celebration, stigma to social justice and creates a new chorus of connection rooted in radical love for ourselves, practical skills, and liberation.
The 2022 edition of Black Healing Remixed: The Summit will be a two-day event, with virtual workshops on Day 1 and a live broadcast of an in-person conversation in Los Angeles, CA on Day 2. Join us, for the remix.
*All attendees will receive a BEAM self-care gift box*
