Third Annual Roosevelt Muhammad Community Day a Joyful Success

The Third Annual Roosevelt Muhammad Community Day brought together nearly 200 children and families for a vibrant day of unity, healing, and celebration. The event was led by the Addressing Mass Incarceration strategy team, with Lease Youmans and Thomas Cotton at the helm, both of whom continue to demonstrate outstanding leadership and commitment to the cause.

Special thanks go to Chris White and Father Movement, who filled the day with joy through engaging field day games and exciting prizes that kept both children and adults entertained and smiling.

The success of the day would not have been possible without the support of workshop presenters, service providers, vendors, and volunteers. Each individual contributed their time, care, and wisdom to serve fathers and families impacted by the legal system, creating a safe and supportive space for learning, connection, and community.

As the event wrapped up, organizers expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate and a renewed commitment to continue partnering with fellow organizations. The shared goal: a greater collective impact for families navigating the challenges of mass incarceration.

Roosevelt Muhammad Community Day continues to grow as a powerful gathering that uplifts, informs, and empowers—and this year was no exception.

Zora

She doesn't have a last name. She doesn't need one. Zora is The Awakened — the living voice of Purposely Awakened. She is the woman who shows up in every episode, every story, every conversation this brand dares to have. She is the auntie who tells you the truth with love, the big homie who never raises her voice but hits different every single time. Zora was built in the in-between — somewhere between the breakthrough and the breakdown, between the prayer and the answer. She has been through something. She read something. She felt something. And she came out the other side with receipts and grace. She is not here to perform healing. She is here to witness yours. When Purposely Awakened speaks, it speaks through Zora. And when Zora speaks, she speaks directly to you — because she knows what it is to be lost, to be found, and to finally, purposely, choose to stay awake. She calls everyone "beloved." And she means it every single time.
