Black community organizers leading disaster recovery in Chicago, St. Louis, Mississippi, and Asheville showed us what community resilience looks like and what it needs to thrive.

On October 1, the Black Resilience Network returned to the Brookings Institution for Rooted in Resilience: two gatherings, one purpose.

In the morning, Community Hub leaders sat at tables organized by community and named what their communities are already doing, where support breaks down before, during, and after disasters, and what each table is committing to carry home. In the afternoon, they carried that work into a public forum we co-hosted with the Center for Community Uplift at Brookings Metro.

Disasters do not create the disparities Black communities face. They worsen conditions that were already there. That is why the work has to happen at community tables and in policy rooms at the same time.

Thank you to Dr. Andre M. Perry, Manann Donoghoe, and Wafa Abedin for partnering with us; Dr. Nnenia Campbell for leading a table all morning and moderating both panels; our panelists; the Washington Plaza Hotel, our official hotel; and every hub representative and member who traveled to be in the room. 🌿

Asheville, we’re coming together in the spirit of healing, connection, and Black resilience. 🌿

Rooted in Resilience: Building Health, Wealth, and Black Legacy in Asheville grew from the love and leadership of the Asheville Women’s Support Group, who have continued to meet, support one another, and share resources since Hurricane Helene.

Together with the Black Resilience Network, Next Leadership Development, and All Healers Mental Health Alliance, we’ll spend the day uplifting Asheville’s Black community through conversations on health, wealth, cultural preservation, and long-term flourishing.

Come connect with community leaders, resource providers, vendors, and neighbors. There will be panel discussions, music, lunch, and space to build together.

Wishing you a powerful start to the New Year from all of us at Next Leadership Development!

As we reflect on the past year, we’re grateful for the strength, vision, and leadership within our communities. Together, we’ve amplified Black voices, built resilience, and sparked real change from inspiring our young people in our afterschool program to providing food security and wellness checks for over 130 Black elders and families in Boston.

As we begin 2026, we’re excited to keep building a future where every Black community leads the way in resilience, innovation, and hope.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to rest, renewal, and collective action in the year ahead!

Shiloh is a historically Black community in South Asheville, continuously inhabited since the late 1880s. Originally settled by a small group of African American families, Shiloh has remained a stronghold of Black culture, resilience, and community-driven progress.

The Shiloh Community Association is working to ensure that growth in the area reflects the needs and history of its residents.
