Open Road Fund Community Care Call

Did you apply to the Open Road Fund this year? We invite you to join us for our final Community Care Call, where we will hold space for aftercare and community support. The video call will be hosted by three Black mental health practitioners — Dr. Aja King, Dr. BraVada, and Cedric Weatherspoon — alongside Open Road Fund staff, who will be available to provide support and answer your questions.

Monday, Sept. 16
5:30-7:30 p.m.
Register to receive the Zoom link!

Space is limited. Please only RSVP if you are certain you will attend.

We understand that many intense emotions can be stirred by the Open Road Fund application questions, especially those concerning our shared ancestry. And we also know that not being chosen for a gift from the Fund can trigger feelings of grief or despair.

This Care Call is an invitation to process and explore all the emotions that may arise from the application and selection process. Dr. Aja King, Dr. BraVada, and Cedric Weatherspoon will provide a healing space and practices that may help guide you through what you are feeling. This space is meant to be one where we can work through personal and collective emotions of shame, sadness, and anger. Please join us!
