Recovery Room Experience: Open House & Community Forum

We're bringing our Recovery Room Saturdays monthly gathering experience to a community near you! Join us to learn more and how to connect! About This Event Safe spaces for Black men exist—and we're bringing the Recovery Room experience directly to the community. Join us on Saturday, July 18th for a special Recovery Room Saturdays Gathering that will serve as our 2026 inaugural Open House & Community Forum, an opportunity to connect with the Recovery Room organization, meet our leadership team, learn more about our mission, and experience firsthand what makes our community unique. If you're a Black man in the DMV area seeking authentic connection, meaningful conversation, professional development opportunities, career resources, wellness support, or simply a sense of brotherhood and belonging, we want to meet you. What is Recovery Room? The Recovery Room (R&R) is a sanctuary for Black men seeking connection, support, and community. Since 2024, we have been intentional about creating safe spaces where Black men can cultivate brotherhood, build meaningful relationships, and strengthen their connection to community. We believe that when Black men are connected, supported, and empowered, we create stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger future for generations to come. Life can be overwhelming, and we understand the unique challenges Black men navigate every day. Recovery Room exists to provide a safe and intentional space where men can combat mental fatigue, build meaningful relationships, and engage in honest dialogue without judgment. Much like an emergency room prioritizes care and recovery, Recovery Room prioritizes check-ins, connection, and collective healing. This Open House & Community Forum will introduce attendees to the movement, provide opportunities to learn about our programs and initiatives, and connect participants with brothers who are committed to personal growth, wellness, leadership, and community impact. Whether you're looking for community, mentorship, accountability, friendship, professional development, or simply a place where you can show up as your authentic self, Recovery Room welcomes you. There is no dress code and no expectations. Just come as you are. We are excited to meet you and learn more about how we can support your journey toward wholeness, wellness, and connection. RSVPs are required. Light refreshments will be provided.

2nd Annual A Walk in the Daylight: Washington, DC Edition

It was through sickness that a 8-year-old was able to begin seeing a dream that became a reality. Join me for the 2nd Annual A Walk in the Daylight: Washington, DC Edition event! A stroll down memory lane at Dahlia Street Northwest & Georgia Avenue Northwest down to Howard University on October 17, 2026 at 8:00 AM (Eastern Time). Let's celebrate three decades of sunshine and joy together. Don't miss out on this opportunity to reminisce and create new memories. See you there! WEAR YELLOW FOR SPINA BIFIDA AWARENESS!!!! In 1995, 8-year-old Rashon E. Forrest was hospitalized at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (at that time located on Georgia Ave NW) because of complications from hydrocephalus that came with her being born with spina bifida. It was at that time that she became aware of Howard University. After her hospitalization, surgery to correct the hydrocephalus and getting her stitches removed a family friend drove her and her mother down Georgia Ave NW and showed them where Howard University is. At that fateful moment it welled up in Rashon's young spirit that she would apply, get accepted and graduate from that illustrious historical black university. Ten years after that she indeed applied and was accepted and 5 years after that she graduated, completing her dream that began 15 years before. Now is a time celebrate all that and no better time then to do it during Howard's Homecoming.
