I just wanted to take a moment to thank those of you who came out Saturday, October 18
th for the Men of Color Photoshoot.  The day was amazingly blessed because of you! Your energy and open hearts showed the power of oneness while showcasing the love we have for each other, our families,  
our community and ourselves.

 

Together we have started to Change the Narrative, Shift the Perceptions and Change the Image of our men of color. We have a long way to go, but we are grateful for your support and look forward to having you along this important journey. 

 

Here is what the HoodFit team will be doing next: 

T

he images taken at Saturday's event will be showcased via the web, social media, and at a public event in the next month or so. Please send any photos you are willing to share publically from the shoot to [email protected].  We greatly appreciate it and  we will ensure you receive photo credit. Over the next several months, we would like you to continue to share photographs or videos that reflect the positive contributions men of color are making to the community for our final exhibit and discussion series in April 2015. 

 

Second; If we didn't get you on film Saturday morning, we would still like to make sure we capture your thoughts from the day but more so capture you telling us about the positive impact you are making in our communities. If you are willing to be filmed please let us know at [email protected] and we will schedule a time to do so.

 

 

Lastly, because we did not reach our goal of 500 brothers, we will shoot the photo one more time in April.  We ask that you help us reach the goal of 500 by sharing the information (exact date to be announced) and attending again, if your time permits. 

 

Thank you again for bringing an open mind and honest heart to Saturday's photo shoot. Because of you we left feeling connected and lifted. If you signed the registration sheet (and it is legible!) at the event you can expect an email soon about picking up or having us mail your free "print" of the Saturdays photo. If you don't hear from us and were in attendance please email changingtheimage@gmail.com and we will add you to the distribution list for future HoodFit events.  Please encourage others to join our mailing list via our website and to follow us on Facebook or Twitter so that they can be a part of this movement.

 

 

Sincerely
