WE Family is back! 💙💙💙

Tonight is the night! WE Family Tuesday Nights are back at The Well Experience.

Join us at 6:00 PM for dinner, learning, sisterhood, and healing as we begin our Community Healing Series.

This series is for the woman who is ready to heal for real. We are walking toward generational freedom by doing the work that starts with you, strengthens your family, and ripples into our community. You deserve a space that feels safe, brave, and made with you in mind.

What to expect: meaningful conversation, real tools you can use, reflection, and support from women who get it. Come as you are. You do not have to carry everything alone.

Teens also have their own healing space with Ms. J'Ny, created just for them. They will build confidence, learn healthy ways to cope, strengthen communication, and talk through real life challenges in a supportive, judgment free environment.

Child care is provided for young children.

If you are searching for freedom in any area of your life, this is for you. Bring a sister and meet us here.

If you plan to join us, type "I'm Ready!" We will see you there!

Well Families!

We are excited about this initiative coming to our neighborhood! We hope to see you there!

Dear Neighbors,

I am excited to share that the City of Urbana has launched Philo Road Ahead — a new initiative to listen, learn, and work side-by-side with residents, businesses, and community partners to reimagine the future of the Philo Road Corridor.

Our first step together will be the Kickoff Block Party on Sunday, September 7, from 1–5 p.m. at the Sunnycrest Center parking lot. We’ll be right in the neighborhood, creating a relaxed, welcoming space filled with conversation, kid-friendly activities, and opportunities to share ideas.

Together, we’ll talk about:
✅Housing
✅Youth opportunities
✅Community infrastructure
✅Business growth
✅And most importantly, we’ll be building connections and community pride.
We’d love for you to join us!

– Deshawn Williams, Urbana Mayor
