August 20th -Who Tells Your Story

Your Story Matters

Who — a teacher, mentor, neighbor, family member — has shaped how you think about racial equity and justice the most?

Come to the Flourish Hub ready to share this story from your own life. You won't need a polished version — just one person and one moment. We'll make space for a few of these stories in conversation together.

In “Tears of Things” Richard Rohr offers a wholehearted and hope-filled model for the divided world today, grounded in the timeless wisdom of the Hebrew prophets. Join us for our summer Faith and Justice book club to see how this wisdom can help us in these challenging times.

August 6th - Let’s Talk About it:

We're talking about the heartbreaking story of Nolan Wells from the perspective of a Black Momma and her lived experience of being a parent to her teenage son and how fellow parents can be better allies to families of color.

Before we meet: please read Kimberly Seals Allen's account on her Instagram or we’ve got screenshots here in this Google folder

Flourish friend, Traci Huahn will share how she's talking with her children, as Asian Americans, about caring well for their Black friends.

Come ready to learn, listen, and think about how to be a better ally.

The Flourish Collective is proud to be the key sponsor of the Northern California Film & Media Summit, taking place Saturday, June 27 in Livermore, CA.

The Summit is a full-day creative and professional development event designed to expand access, visibility, and career pathways for emerging filmmakers, media professionals, and creatives from diverse and historically underrepresented backgrounds.

The day includes hands-on workshops in directing, producing, and cinematography; industry panels with professionals whose credits span Skywalker Sound, Pixar, Netflix, Disney, Marvel, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; a curated short film showcase highlighting work by filmmakers of color; and dedicated networking time with industry partners, local organizations, and fellow creatives.

For Northern California, this event is an opportunity for residents to engage with diverse stories, meet working professionals, and be part of a broader conversation about art, media, representation, and creative workforce development.
