Wednesday was another beautiful Vitals & Vision.

Big thank you to Chad Scott Ron Downs, LCSW • I KNEW THEN ®️ and Chris Williams for sharing your insight, wisdom, and support. And especially for creating space for real, honest conversations.

Thank you to Coffee Uplifts People (CUP) for giving us a space where we can show up, be vulnerable, and connect.

And of course, thank you to NOWINCLUDED and Complete Health Ventures for helping us stay connected to the resources, information, and support that keep our health moving forward. 🙌🏾

Tech Tuesday is coming to CUP! 💻☕✨

Join us September 15 from 12–1:30PM as Maya + Chloe of SiSTEM Tech Collective take over for an interactive afternoon of learning, building, and getting curious about AI.

We’re getting hands-on with Claude coding, asking questions as we go, and actually putting what we learn into practice. Whether you’ve been curious about coding or you’re just trying to figure out what all this AI talk is about—this is your chance to pull up and learn in a space that doesn’t make tech feel intimidating.

Bring your laptop, bring your questions, grab a coffee, and let’s build something. 💻☕

📅 September 15
⏰ 12–1:30PM
📍 1107 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn NY

25 years ago today.

There was something special about that beautiful NYC skyline. It made you feel unstoppable. Our hearts are with those who lost a loved one that day.

May we never forget.
