Black Family Cookouts

Our Summer Black Family Cookout Series

October 7, 2024

BlackECE developed the idea for the Black Family Cookout in the summer of 2022. Thinking about how though there are 2.5 million Black folks in California, we’re all spread out, meaning for many Black families with young children, they are isolated from other Black families.

Our vision is that the cookout is a place for young Black children and the adults who love on them to gather for food, folks and fun and build community! Plus learning about why BlackECE exists, why we need to be politically active for the sake of our children at least (NOVEMBER and always), and communal connection.

We had a BALL at all of our Black Family Cookouts this summer. A time was had as we ate good food, played games, and danced to good music. Shoutout Hambone’s BBQSymple Soul, and Cake Lady Dee (delorese6560@gmail.com) for providing us with all our cookout food! And shoutout to all the families who showed up and had a good time with BlackECE!
