At Fré Ak Sè, our mission has always been rooted in community, health, and connection. Over the past few months, we’ve had the privilege of hosting and collaborating on events that truly embody the spirit of giving, wellness, and togetherness. Here’s a look back at some of the amazing moments we’ve shared.
Bike Donation with Black Girls Do Bike – Queens & Long Island

We were proud to partner with Black Girls Do Bike Queens and Long Island for a special bike donation initiative. Through this collaboration, we were able to donate a bicycle to a community member who was identified as being in need of one.
For this individual, the bike means more than just transportation—it represents freedom, independence, and a way to stay active and healthy. Seeing their excitement reminded us of the power of coming together as a community to support one another in meaningful ways.
Community Health Fair – Empowering Through Wellness
Health is wealth, and our Community Health Fair proved just that! This event brought together local health professionals, wellness advocates, and families for a day dedicated to education and resources.
From free screenings and health information to fitness tips and nutrition guidance, our goal was simple: to make health accessible to everyone. We also had an incredible turnout, showing how much our community values wellness when given the opportunity and resources.
Gathering of Friends – Celebrating Connection
Community isn’t built by programs alone—it’s built by relationships. Our Gathering of Friends event was an intimate celebration of friendship, culture, and support. We shared stories, laughter, and ideas for how we can continue to uplift and inspire each other.
Moments like these remind us that strong communities are built on genuine connections.
Looking Ahead
These past events were just the beginning. At Fré Ak Sè, we’re committed to creating more opportunities to give back, connect, and grow together. Stay tuned for upcoming initiatives—and if you want to volunteer, partner, or donate, we’d love to hear from you!

We believe that every voice matters. By listening to each other, we can better understand our community's needs and aspirations. This understanding allows us to tailor our programs and initiatives to serve everyone effectively.
Creating Lasting Impact
Our goal is to empower local families and youth through culturally rich programs. We want to help them thrive and strengthen their heritage for a brighter future. Each event we host is a step toward that vision.
