SUEF, Inc. Community Engagement - 2025 Summer Health & Wellness Series
The Speak Up Empowerment Foundaion, Inc. partnered with All Colors One Love & Project Optimism to host our 2025 Summer Essay Contest & Bicycle Giveaway, which was then followed by Pickleball Lessons & Ice Cream.
The event furthured the Long Beach TNP Peace Initiative, and was a day filled with fun, mental & emotional relaxation, and winning! On Thursday August 7th, we worked as a unit to demonstrate that it's more fun to play together & win, instead of hating each other & fighting. When we empower our youth to succeed, we can build a sustainable future!!

We began the Summer by partnering w/AATCLC & Finishing the Fight to host our initial health & wellness workshop on June 7th. It was aptly titled, "Why Are You Targeting ME?" and highlighted the predatory marketing practices used by the tobacco industry and directed towards African American & BIPOC communities.
The teens in attendance experienced an eye-opening interactive educational workshop and learned much more than they could have ever expected. Thank You so very much to our partners: Finishing the Fight, Ursula Institute, Faithful Central Bible Church, Long Beach Health Dept, and Storm Burgers-Inglewood for your support!!
