When our representatives are making important
decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask
one basic question before making
those decisions, Is this good for
the children? Just imagine what our world would be
like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to
war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1. Our
first guest
Regina Brennan talks
about the Sonoma County
Black Forum, that was
founded after the presidential
election of 2016, as a way for
Blacks in the county to meet and
discuss strategies going forward
to deal with the racial
animosity and policies
encouraged by the rhetoric of
the incoming Trump
Administration after Barack
Obama, the first black man
elected as President, left
office. At the initial meeting
they felt the urgency to address
the critical needs in our
community. Present were artists,
community organizers, educators,
and entrepreneurs of Sonoma
County as well as
representatives from 100 Black
Men, NAACP, and the Black
Chamber of Commerce. A few weeks
later, a small group continued
to meet, and by late spring of
2017, the Sonoma County Black
Forum (SCBF) was founded. They
formed a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation with an initial
board of 7 people with the
vision to support area youth and
community by creating
opportunities to support
education, provide access to
arts, culture and technology in
order to foster agency within
Sonoma County and the
surrounding Bay Area. Working
with their community partners,
they mean to develop and expand
the Black experience, and
contribute to the culture of our
Sonoma community. In 2020 with
the onset of the Covid-19
pandemic, the Black Forum began
to focus on helping the less
fortunate in the community with
Food Distribution. Regina
announced the next Food
Distribution will be happening
on January 22. Regina
announced the next Food

2. Our
second guest Tina Rogers
shares with what the line-up is
for the Martin Luther
King jr. Birthday Celebration
this year on Sunday January 16,
2022 from 7 to 9 PM as
an online event. This year, The
Sonoma County MLK Birthday
Committee applauds the King
family’s admonition to remember
the deepest meaning of his
lifelong work – to not just
celebrate his birthday and
“dream” of a more just future,
but to build and sustain his
vision of equity and to secure
everyone’s right to vote. Tina
explains where the motto is
derived for this year's theme, a
quote of Martin Luther King jr.
from his speech in Washington
DC, "Out of a mountain of
despair, a stone of hope."
Donzaleigh Abernathy, the
daughter of Rev. Ralph
Abernathy, will return this year
as a guest speaker speaking from
her direct experience of MLK. Youth from
county elementary and high
schools will present their
poster art. All are welcome to
attend the online event. See the

Events. The video of the
event can be seen by clicking

child development that lasts a
lifetime. She is also a member
