This one is for the home team.. The name of the event isn’t an error.. it was changed due to circumstances.  Flo Lab is where Hip Hop culture resides in the East Bay.. it’s organized by the NGO Hip Hop for the Future and occurs every Wednesday night at Cali’s Sport Bar on Telegraph in Berkeley.. we have an open mic where hella MC’s come through and spit, regular featured performers, and a rhyme writing contest where $300 in prize money is given out. If you’re interested in competing in the contest, please read this post.. and good luck.

Alright, this one for the community.. The SF Pregnancy Family Village in Bayview Hunters Point is a free, monthly, one-stop shop designed to support Black expectant parents and families, offering clinical care, community support, and wellness services. Located at the Bayview YMCA (1601 Lane St), it operates every second Saturday from 12:00 PM to 3:30 PM, featuring free lunch, massages, yoga, and maternity clothes.

Alright, lemme start off the year correctly.. this one is for the community. I’m rocking with The Self Help Hunger Program, which was founded by members of the Black Panther party, and is dedicated to providing meals, clothing, housing support, legal aid, and job training to socioeconomically marginalized folks in Oakland. Shout outs to Eseibio the Automatic for reaching out.
