ABOUT THE EVENT

On Friday, September 29, over 150 individuals gathered at Egypt Shriners Center for third edition of The Refinery. The focus of this event was Mental Wellness: Breaking the Stigma. We addressed  the critical issue of mental health in communities of color and how to dismantle the stigma. The Refinery was developed by serial entrepreneur and community leader, Gary Hartfield, to serve as a safe space for conversation, support, and healing. It is more than an event, it’s an opportunity to “refine” mindsets and create solutions. It’s a place to celebrate our greatness and remind the world of our existence. It’s a space for inspiration and empowerment. View the photos and video from the event below.
