This isn’t your typical event—it’s a conversation. Our Fireside Chats are designed to feel like you’re gathered at the table with family, engaging in real, meaningful dialogue about mental health, identity, and the ways culture shapes how we heal and show up in the world.
We are honored to feature Dr. Tony Keith Jr. and Dr. Crystal Leigh Endlsley, who will lead a dynamic fireside conversation exploring how Hip-Hop, storytelling, and education can be used as tools for healing, teaching, and transformation.
✨ What to Expect:
- A featured fireside conversation (30–40 minutes)
- Opportunities for open dialogue and audience engagement
- Music, light refreshments, and drinks
- Networking with educators, creatives, and community leaders
Whether you’re an educator, student, parent, or community advocate, this space is for you.
Come be a part of the S.M.A.S.H. movement as we continue to create spaces where passion meets purpose—and healing happens in community.
