REAL Talk for the Culture provides a safe space for Black community members to speak freely and unapologetically about health concerns and topics impacting their community. A continuation of the A Safe Space to Dig Deep virtual event series, REAL Talk for the Culture aims to build a stronger and more connected community by helping Black residents connect to community resources and each other at in-person events.
Join us in September 2021 for REAL Talk events at barber shops in Fairfax County.
