What could have made Juneteenth even better? Doug E. Fresh, of course!
We want to give a huge thanks to Doug E. Fresh for his unforgettable performance and to everyone who came out to make it another fantastic event. Special appreciation goes out to The Black Pearls Society for organizing such an incredible way to celebrate Father’s Day and Juneteenth each year.
The 3rd Annual Pearls Jam, held on Sunday, June 16, 2024, at The Continental Club in Downtown Greensboro, was nothing short of amazing. With perfect weather and Doug E. Fresh, The Original Human Beatbox, bringing the house down, it was a night to remember.
The energy was high, the food trucks were buzzing, and the crowd was vibing from start to finish. Thanks to everyone who came out and made it a truly special celebration!

2nd Black Maternal & Infant Health Conference
2024-04-30 08:00 - 2024-05-01 17:00 UTC | Continental Club, 816 S Elm St,, Greensboro, NC, 27406, United States
This two-day program will elevate community-led entities that focus on maternal health and reproductive justice and enhance community organizing and activism for Black maternal and infant health. Creating a safe space that centers the voices of local Black women and birthing people, families, and community stakeholders to deepen the understanding of the Maternal and infant mortality crisis.

The conference will also include an art installation and ritual ceremonies. The conference will raise awareness and galvanize the support and activism of advocates within the community, especially women, mothers, and birthing people, health care advocates and providers, birthing assistants and doulas, systems leaders, and policy makers.

Further, there are many siloed initiatives taking place across the State that lack cohesion and united efforts. This conference will serve as a place for connections and collaborations to form that may provide an opportunity to collectively address one of the country’s most pervasive public health issues.
