What Rocks about Black Folx Rock

What started off as a few friends rock climbing at a local indoor gym has become one of our community’s favorite programs.

"Today was a lot of fun!🤗 Thank y'all for having us over. It's been kinda hard being out here in Queen Creek. We been a bit lonely over here. It's good to go to group events and not be judged or "not trusted" or have some stigma out on us. It might seem funny but I really do appreciate being somewhere where people are nice to us. 🥹 Thank You 🙏🏽🪷"

“I didn’t know how much I needed this today until I got home feeling so restful and relaxed. I just want to thank everyone who organized this painting event. The host for sharing their home with us… and your instruction and everyone who came out and helped create a great atmosphere. Just wanted to share my gratitude for this space and all the work that goes into it! 🫶🏽☀️"
