"Humans need Humans" said Taraji P. Henson, Founder of BLHF. "We want communities everywhere to collectively build tables of joy. We're creating spaces that honor safety, belonging and dignity, where people feel seen, and empowered to heal, here at home and in communities around the world.
"I'm honored to partner with the Boris L. Henson Foundation on our biggest event to date," said Prince George's County Council Chair Edward Burroughs. "At the close of the weekend, I will be making an exciting announcement regarding a substantial extension of our partnership that will bring meaningful and lasting benefits to Prince George's County. BLHF exemplifies a true dedication to its mission, demonstrating its commitment through transformative action. Together we are not just envisioning change, we are making it a reality."
Tracie Jade Jenkins, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, states: "The 'Can We Talk?' Summit is both a community celebration and a global call to action. We need each other now more than ever. Behind every number is a heartbeat. A dreamer. A survivor. Someone who deserves not only to survive, but to thrive. Together, leaning on the traditions of those who came before us, we want to remember our power to heal both individually and collectively. We will raise funds to support wellness resources for communities in need.
