As we close out 2025, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to every member of the Black Resilience Network (BRN). Your leadership, your voice, and your unwavering commitment to building resilient Black communities are the heartbeat of our work.
This year has reminded us, yet again, that racism and inequity continue to function as man-made disasters. And still, Black communities across the country have shown brilliance, innovation, and the ability to respond, recover, and transform.
Thank you for showing up. Thank you for supporting your communities. Thank you for helping us move BRN forward with purpose and clarity.
We have exciting plans for 2026, and we are honored to continue this journey with you.
With appreciation,
Dr. Atyia Martin
Founder & Executive Director, Black Resilience Network
