Be-Full

Be-Full All ships rise with the tide, and this investment in the heart of our community will undeniably make Lexington a better place to live, work and play.

OUR PURPOSE: To empower and strengthen the health and wealth of black families in our community by elevating their funds of knowledge and intentionally creating opportunities to lead and learn in a collaborative environment. In the wake of magnified racial disparities facing our society – both in Lexington and nation-wide, it is vital we work together to ensure we are building strong communities t

hat are equitable for all citizens. Black Empowerment Family University for Leading and Learning (BE-FULL) is an opportunity to leverage the important bonds of family, while creating a legacy of health and wealth through informative sessions covering financial literacy, mental health awareness and education advocacy for our black community.

Shericka Smith, District Mental Health Coordinator, and Officer Sims with Fayette County Public Schools kicked off this afternoon’s Mental Health Awareness session by discussing some of the primary issues facing our kids and community.

Then Dr. Lauren Downey, Founder and Clinical Director of The TICC of Lexington, helped us recognize the threats and signs of mental health disorders.

These necessary conversations were brought to our BE-FULL families by our Mental Health Awareness Session Sponsor, Crossroads Church. Thank you for being the village!
