Where Culture and Care Meet

From full-scale festivals to intimate talks to fast pop-ups, our event formats meet people where they are.

We host events because health happens beyond medical centers. It takes place in our daily lives, conversations, and communities.

Our events connect with people through music, open discussions, and celebration. From block parties to community talks to pop-up activities, everything we do aims to build trust, provide helpful resources, and make health more relatable and accessible to everyone.

The other woman has long dreadlocks, wearing a green top and denim jeans, also holding a glass. Other people are visible in the background, some taking photos and others engaged in the event.

Our Event Formats

Whether we run them ourselves or join existing events, we always make sure Black people have a safe place to get healthcare, ask health questions, and feel understood.

    The Link Up

    A community event that offers free health screenings, STI testing, and care packages in a space that feels more like a block party than a clinic. With music, food, and no pressure, it creates room for joy, connection, and real care.

    BLKHLTH Activations

    Activations are quick engagements where we join existing events. We might set up health screening booths, hand out education materials, or partner with brands. This helps us reach people in places they already know and trust.
