The Eight Principles of our Black Family Summit (PERFUMES).

P¹ - Physical

Aims & Objectives for Workshop:

-Who is Rahsaan Bahati

-Introduce the Bahati Foundation and its mission and outreach programs

-Empowering youth on and off the bike

P² - Perfection

Aims & Objectives for Workshop:

This workshop will address the impact of fatherhood in the family and community. Participants will know and understand when and where paternal figures are needed and the outcomes associated with their presence.

E - Emotional

Aims & Objectives for Workshop:

-When parents are feeling a sense of mental and emotional wellbeing they make better choices for themselves and their children.

-The goal of this workshop is to teach parents how to become aware of and decrease emotional reactivity when interacting with their children.

-Parents will learn mindfulness exercises to cultivate calm and patience so they are making choices from intention rather than fleeting emotions.

R - Relational

The participant will learn how to identify healthy boundaries in relationships with partners, family/friends and co-worker. How to say NO without feeling guilty. They will leave with a toolbox of knowledge.

F - Financial

U - Universal

Aims & Objectives for Workshop:

In this session participants will learn practical and effective ways to seek out their students' mathematical brilliance, and use what students already know to help them meet the demands of the grade level. Through a lesson demo, participants will experience and then analyze teacher moves and gain key takeaways for immediate use with their own children. They will also have an opportunity to unpack the lesson design and learn researched practices for culturally responsive lessons, such as the one they will have experienced.

M - Mental Wellness

Aims & Objectives for Gail's Workshop:

This workshop engages attendees to reflect on the power of internal beliefs and its subsequent impact on the family system. Patterns, habits, rigidity, fears, tendencies, and traumas all have a voice. It is urgent that this voice be explored, understood, and validated prior to personal transformation. This personal transformation is the journey towards mental health and the disruption of beliefs that might maintain cultural dysfunction in the Black family. A serious encounter with the self requires courage, love, and deep concern about present and future generations. We are hopeful that our descendants will have the tools and capacity to be more resilient in adversity and that coping strategies will be conducive to spiritual and psychological wellness. Behavioral transformations within the family system begin with us. This conversation will expand our understanding of the power of internal changes and how personal evolution impacts the family unit.

E - Education

Aims & Objectives for Dr. Montgomery's Workshop:

Supporting the African American Learner, come and learn what practices you should advocate for seeing at your child school. The document ‘Supporting the African American Learner’ was written as a guide for educators to help with planning systems in which Black students can thrive. Come learn what this document says to educators, but more importantly learn what you should look for specifically.

S - Spiritual

Aims & Objectives for Workshop:

-Give families an overview of the SBV Effective Black Parenting curriculum.

-Demonstrate how African and biblical Proverbs impart instruction and inspiration for parenting.

-Model and teach pride in blackness to promote high self-esteem, positive cultural identity, and assurance of belonging in our families.

-Provide practical tools for effective communication, single and co-parenting, helping our children and youth avoid street pressures, alternatives to corporal punishment, and more.

-Empower families to lead with greater intentionality and consistency through the Thinking Parent’s Approach.

-Individuals and families will identify existing and possible villages of care and support networks for themselves and their families.
