This impact-driven panel brings together Zaire Calvin and representatives from Our Own, Neighborhood Survants, and Flintridge Center—three organizations deeply embedded in community healing, workforce development, and youth empowerment. Moderated by Jackie Dupont-Walker, a noted Los Angeles advocate and Win With Black Women’s Chief Advisor, the discussion will explore grassroots recovery efforts, from direct aid and trauma-informed programming to creating sustainable opportunities for those impacted. Panelists will share what’s working, what’s still needed, and how the audience can help, from donating to the Essence x Win-With-Black-Women x GoFundMe campaign to amplifying local recovery initiatives and ensuring long-term impact.
