Dear FBE Family, Happy 2024! I'm excited to connect with our FBE family and reflect on our incredible journey last year. Thanks to your passion, dedication, and support, 2023 was a year of significant growth and achievement for our community. This year, we are embracing the theme "Black Wellbeing is Black Resistance." It's a call to action, celebrating our journey of growth, achievements, and resilience in 2023, and looking forward to a year filled with even more empowerment and community strength. Our collective efforts last year laid a solid foundation for the exciting developments we have planned. Expect innovative programs and dynamic collaborations that align with our theme, focusing on nurturing health, education, and wellbeing in our community. We value your voice and experiences. Please contribute your insights in our end-of-year survey to help us shape a truly impactful 2024. A heartfelt thank you to every one of you for being a part of our journey.
