Dear MegaBlack SF,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Natalie Reid, and I'm the owner of Soul Speak Dance, a Black-owned dance school dedicated to providing high-quality dance education for children and teens in our community.
I’m reaching out to inquire if MegaBlack SF has any rental space available that could accommodate weekly dance classes. If not, I would greatly appreciate any recommendations or connections to other organizations or facilities in the city that may offer rental space for small businesses like mine.
Thank you for your time and for the incredible work MegaBlack SF does to support our community. I look forward to hearing from you and exploring potential opportunities to collaborate or connect.
Best, Natalie Reid

We would love to invite you all to our upcoming events for the Umoja Health Access Point.
What is Umoja HAP?
The Umoja Health Access Point (Umoja HAP) is San Francisco’s first one-stop harm prevention and community health and wellness hub for Black communities. Created by the people for the people, the center provides holistic health services, education, and culturally-appropriate care to ensure that every person receives the support they need to thrive. Umoja HAP provides comprehensive behavioral and sexual health services to San Francisco’s Black communities, along with access to fresh food, testing, counseling, overdose prevention, and support groups.
Umoja Health Access Point is the result of Rafiki Coalition’s partnership with 3rd St Youth Clinic, SF AIDS Foundation, PRC, Glide and UCSF Alliance Health project.

Sojourn to the Past
We are currently accepting applications for the upcoming cohort of Sojourn to the Past, an impactful academic experience where youth participants retrace the steps of the Civil Rights Movement by visiting significant landmarks in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
This life-changing journey is designed to help young people gain a profound understanding of the Civil Rights Movement’s legacy, while also encouraging them to embrace core values such as acceptance, non-violence, courage, compassion, forgiveness, and civic responsibility. By participating, the youth are equipped to become change agents, addressing the prejudices that continue to impact our society today.
Applications can be found on our website: https://sfdistrictattorney.org/youth-and-young-adult-services-unit/.

Youth participants ages 14-18 (18 if still in high school) and Peer Mentors ages 18-24 (out of high school) who are San Francisco residents or students.
