Grounded and fiercely protective.

The Neighborhood Folks Zemi Digital Remote Art Gallery Center art collective AND Popular Democracy 💥 Family Edition “Shore Sheaf ; breeze_.bri teaches us “Art Protects what matters.” Anj Grant wrote a book to teach her children about her grandparents and dementia as her children witnessed it through granny’s death.

Facism and Cultural Imperialism breaks minds! Systemic erasure and cognitive redlining leave DC youth isolated.

School of Adversity, now ran by my friends Heroes of the New School and Anthony Johnson , is a comic lore lab where neurodiverse youth get to weaponize AFRICAN and ARAWAK-Taino to school the broken education system serving as the immediate intervention we all need to turn the systemic bulls**t into functional, creative protection ya dig.

Myson and William teach students to map data driven civic metrics into custom comic universes, so they can translate their lived trauma into interactive lore and visual storyboards on which they are the authors of the liberation narrative arc. Yall bulls**t-schools penalize neurodiversity, but Neighborhood Folks Heroes of the New School and The Seeds of Change Art Collective shifts di power dynamic with sensory and cognitive differences as elite tools for deconstructing insitutional policy!

🎤 When Jounte Ferguson steps on stage as The 757 Fresh Prince, he’s not just making you laugh, he’s breaking down the system one punchline at a time. Comedy becomes the truth serum we all need, calling out everything wrong with how power works while giving us the strength to keep fighting without burning out. He’s bringing that Black August energy straight from Hampton Roads to DC, proving that joy isn’t a distraction from the revolution, it’s literally how we survive it. See him live at Cozzy’s Comedy Club in Newport News where every joke hits different because it’s rooted in real freedom work.

As the current culture war weaponizes borders and narratives of terror and annexation, bit.ly/MARVALOUS-STORIES2Tell reflects Neighborhood Folks 51st State of Mind. With her work, Marva proves that true soverignty isnt granted on a damned map; it is reclaimed by unearthing the suppressed blueprints of Black and Brown power beneath our feet! In this zeal, Marva brings back the hidden Black history of Philadelphias 7th ward where over 15k Black residents and buseinesses built a massive hub from the 1820s era thru the 1930s ya dig.

Washington DCs Statehood is about psycological freedom rooted in ancestral power and reistance, yuh si me? Join us on the 11th for Strengthening the Revolutionary Sprit (neurodiverse minds) with a 51st State of Mind

As birthday approaches: From the block to the 51st State of Mind campaign, all neighborhood folks are celebrating our unstoppable leaders.

True to their Leo season roots, these trailblazers embody a leadership that is sovereign, fierce, luminous, fearless, protective, unapologetic, magnetic, loyal, commanding, bold, radiant, resilient, and visionary as we block and build together this Black August.

To Nkechi Feaster Keye Feaster

Happy Birthday, our fierce, unapologetic Leo queen and powerhouse advocate who embodies Black August resilience and teaches us to reject permission and to lead with bold, visionary strength to build our Care Over Cages future!

Happy Black August Birthday tomorrow, August 8th, to Adelina M. Luna, Gregory’s proud mom, our vital funding comms leader, and a fierce Leo veteran whose 20 years of service in the U.S. Navy now fuels the neuro-inclusive heart of our 51st State of Mind campaign by teaching us how to protect and care for our elders! Foundation for Social Connection

Huge birthday shout-out to Richard Evans, CEO of NCS Systems Inc. (of whom Neighborhood Folks is a subsidiary) bringing that funk and unstoppable Leo swagger to our Neighborhood Folks as honor the legacy of A Cornelius Baker via your ongoing health equity project, Baker-Street Linkage to Care.

In honor of Cornelius Baker, Richard Evans is leading the Baker Street initiative at Neighborhood Folks to build a sovereign, community-led care network that directly addresses the intersectional struggles of homelessness, HIV, sickle cell, and methadone recovery, while fiercely protecting our LGBTQ+ neighbors and retiring elders.

Happy Birthday to Maurice Knight, Maurice Knight , Gregory Anthony’s day-one friend since middle school, a fierce Leo brother, and a loyal pillar who has always stood strong in our corner from the block to the 51st State of Mindcampaign!

A Closing Message from our Founder:

“All things considered, beloved: this Black August and Leo season calls us to embody the very definition of sovereign, fierce, and unapologetic leadership (in that order!!)

His caption: “Stepping into Black August with a 51st State of Mind. 🤎 From our reclaimed Arawak-Taíno roots to our deep Afro-Latino, Dominican, Jamaican, and Black American heritage, survival is our art and resistance is our style. We are dreaming of a future rooted in absolute sovereignty, climate justice, and community care. keeping our families safe, healthy, and together is the ultimate statement. Wish my momma a happy birthday. I’ve been a bad son.

Your mind isn’t broken; It’s build for this ⚡️

Our need for truth, and your refusal for the normative facist imperial script is not a flaw because it’s our revolutionary blueprint, neighbors!

Black August is discipline made sacred.

This month, we fast from sunrise to sunset, eating one meal to honor those who starved in cages. We refuse red meat, pork, alcohol, and corporate consumption. We train our bodies daily through calisthenics, martial arts, and movement that builds power. We study revolutionary texts, host political education circles, and write letters to political prisoners. We boycott corporations profiting from our oppression and fund mutual aid networks instead. We organize our blocks, not for performance, but for survival.

Save this to commit. Comment “READY” if you’re observing Black August with us.

This is how we honor George Jackson, Nat Turner, and every ancestor who refused to bow. Swipe through all 14 slides to see the full Black August timeline, Works Cited, and our call to action: https://canva.link/black-august2026

Forgiveness is not owed. Reconciliation is not guaranteed.

My co-director and I spent the evening at Seeds of Change honoring both truths. Black August teaches us to hold accountability in the shadows while releasing the need for absolution. True healing happens when we stop demanding relief and start building different futures.
