In an effort to unite teens for healing and to change the narrative, #RealTalk is hosting a block party that will include school supplies, entertainment, a wellness clinic, food, and activity stations focused on mental, social, and emotional development.
Hosted by New Hope Baptist Church and Confident Girl Mentoring, this community event is intended to promote youth and family wellness and togetherness in the midst of ongoing violence and the pandemic. In addition to a jump rope competition, there will be bounce houses, games, prices, and giveaways.

Themes have been created to honor Black History Month, and to spread awareness about specific issues every year as well. The 2022 theme surrounds health and wellness in African American communities. Health and wellness is particularly timely, as we still find ourselves in the midst of a worldwide pandemic.
