Our Communities. 2/3 of the World Unprepared for Public Health and other emergencies.
Our communities (African Descent) are partially the remaining 1/3 of communities nationally and worldwide UNPREPARED for public health and other emergencies.
Some have postulated that our communities are under a constant state of emergency\crisis event and situations in our daily lives from the first light of dawn until sunset.
Each of us has to take the added steps to 'BRING OUR A GAME!", and promote awareness on preparedness, planning, response, recovery, mitigation and long-term resiliency building in our communities.
Faith-based, non-profit, community building, financial, our 'whole community' must be involved and at the table.
We at BEMA have been advocating our members to promote a mention of awareness and preparedness for disasters\emergencies\crisis planning at all symposiums, forums, conferences, panel discussions, etc. to stress the importance of preparedness in OUR COMMUNITIES to community leaders, elected officials, and others.
It starts with you and what you do.

"It is my belief
that the best results in business come from a creative process, from the
ability to see things differently from everyone else, and from finding answers
to problems that are not bound by the phrase 'we have always done it this way.'

Event: Thur & Fri, September 15 and 16, 2016. The Second Annual Global Emotional Emancipation Summit(SM)
|
|
Valuing Black Lives:
The Second Annual Global Emotional Emancipation Summit(SM) |
|
2016 Summit Theme:
We Talk. We Tell. We Teach.
|
|
Inspired by the African proverb "until
the lion has a historian, the hunter will always be a hero," this Summit
will continue and build upon Taking
Control of Our Destiny, 2015's unprecedented international
gathering. That groundbreaking meeting brought together Black leaders from
Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean, to set us on a course to
free ourselves and our children --once and for all-- from the root causes of
the devaluing of Black lives and the under-development of Black communities:
the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority.
Thursday and Friday, September 15 and 16, 2016
Presented by Community Healing Network, Inc. and The Association of Black Psychologists in conjunction with Rep. Karen Bass and the 46th Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation Walter E. Washington Convention Center 801 Mt. Vernon Place, N.W. Washington, D. C. U.S.A.
This is a working
Summit. Our charge is to be action-oriented and solutions-focused. Click here to read more information about
the Summit and the registration process.
