“The Rooted & Wellness Health Summit is about creating a space where people can access tools, practices, and resources that support fuller, healthier lives,” Black Humboldt shares. “We want this gathering to reflect the power of community care and the importance of making wellness offerings more accessible, culturally relevant, and deeply rooted in the realities of our region.” The event reflects Black Humboldt’s continued commitment to building spaces where Black and Brown people are seen, supported, and resourced, while also strengthening pathways for collective wellness across the broader community.
