About this Event
Theme: “Keep Ya Head Up – Motivation to Youth to Elevate”
Join us for the Hood Summit Picnic—a day of community, culture, and healing designed to uplift and inspire. This year’s theme, “Keep Ya Head Up,” is a direct message to our youth: your story doesn’t end with struggle—your future is built on strength.
Rooted in the realities of Hood-Based Trauma (HBT), this event creates a space where families and young people can gather to heal, grow, and rise—together. It’s more than a picnic. It’s a movement to motivate our youth to elevate beyond survival and step into purpose.
