HoodComing
Our Homecoming. Our Reunion. Our Proof.
Coming Home to Celebrate
HoodComing is exactly what reclaiming our narrative looks like in action.
When people ask, "Can anything good come from the hood?", we don't just tell them. We invite them to come and see the brilliance, the creativity, the resilience, the love, and the unity that have always existed in our neighborhoods.
HoodComing is our homecoming celebration. It's a reunion of family, a gathering of community, a showcase of excellence that has always been present but often overlooked.
Just like Jesus came from Nazareth to change the world, extraordinary things are emerging from our hoods to transform communities.
