About the Event
Living with chronic illness can be isolating — especially when it feels like no one truly understands what you’re going through. That’s why we created Chronically ChILL, a social group for chronically ill people who just want to connect, talk, and be themselves.
Our socials are a relaxed, judgment-free space to simply be human and enjoy the company of others who get it. There’s no agenda, no pressure, and no need to talk about symptoms unless you want to. It’s just about making friends, laughing a little, and finding community.
Come as you are — camera optional, pajama friendly, cozy vibes welcome.
⸻
What to Expect
• Easygoing conversation and good company
• A warm, understanding community
• Zero pressure to perform or overshare
• The chance to actually socialize and make new friends who understand the ups and downs of chronic illness
Whether you join for ten minutes or the full hour, you’re part of the ChILL community.
⸻
☕ What to Bring
• Yourself, exactly as you are
• Snacks or drinks if you'd like
• Feel free to bring any arts and crafts
⸻
Who It’s For
Chronically ill, disabled, and neurodivergent individuals looking for friendship, laughter, and connection in a relaxed online environment.
You don’t have to be “doing well” to show up — you just have to show up.
The health of our communities begins with the health of our land.
Farmers play a vital role in feeding our families, strengthening local economies, and caring for the landscapes that sustain us all. As stewards of some of the largest working lands in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, they are also uniquely positioned to lead efforts that protect clean water, build healthy soil, and strengthen environmental resilience for future generations.

The topic each week corresponds with the topic of Meditations for Modern Life (adult class) that happens concurrently.
Regular attendance at these classes can assist kids with the development of important life skills such as increased empathy, respect for others, self control and concentration.

Worship with us at 10:30 a.m. in the Sanctuary.
Worship is at the center of our church life, the very foundation for our rhythms of service, mission, education, formation, and fellowship. It is the home we return to, where we encounter the living God who is breathing and moving throughout our world and lives. You are invited to worship with us: in your faith, and in your doubt.
Our expression of worship is rooted in the Reformed tradition and oriented around the scripture. Services are structured in four parts: gathering as the church, hearing the Word of God, responding to this good news, and departing in love and service. These four movements shape our hearts and our minds, engaging our souls through music, prayer, faithful questioning, and meeting one another in our burdens and triumphs.

End of Summer Bash
[Profs and Pints Metro Baltimore](https://www.profsandpints.com/baltimore) presents: **“Tolkien’s Fight Against Futurism,”** a look at a beloved fantasy author as fundamentally engaged in a battle to preserve beauty, with Graham McAleer, professor of philosophy at Loyola University Maryland and teacher of a course on the morals and politics of *Lord of the Rings.*
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/metro-baltimore-tolkien-futurism](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/metro-baltimore-tolkien-futurism) .]
As a young man in the early 20th century J.R.R. Tolkien watched an avant-garde art form known as Futurism become all the rage. Shaped by industrialization and by admiration for new machinery, Futurism celebrated speed, acceleration, and the whirl of technical innovation, earning it another name, Vorticism, in Tolkien’s England.
Although remembered mainly as a writer, Tolkien also was an accomplished pen-and-ink artist who kept abreast of the art movements of his time. He developed a distaste for Futurism and what it signified that only grew stronger as he experienced the horrors of modern warfare as a soldier at the 1916 Battle of the Somme. He regarded what Futurism celebrated as “the Machine,” representing fascist politics and apocalyptic war, and his opposition to it deeply influenced not just his art but his written works.
Gain insights into how Tolkien’s sensibilities as a visual artist shaped his worldview and writing with Graham McAleer, a scholar of philosophy who has closely studied Tolkien’s work.
Professor McAleer will look at how Tolkien’s lore can be seen as one long meditation on beauty and its problematic twin, vanity, with what separated them most in Tolkien’s mind being their respective approaches to time: Beauty is patient, vanity is not.
We’ll look at Tolkien’s argument that that impatience mars beauty and corrupts our standing in a cosmos, and we’ll consider his characterization of his own work as “cosmogonical drama” dealing with the universe’s origins. You’ll learn how his tales of Dark Lords squaring off against elven queens and genial Hobbits reflect his view that war is always a dispute about beauty.
You’ll come to see Tolkien as having grappled with a profound philosophical question that dates back to Plato, and you’ll emerge from the talk with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Tolkien’s works. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.)

### Meet the Teacher:
**Andrew Gaudreau**
Andrew is a sincere practitioner of meditation and Kadampa Buddhism, and is a student on our Foundation Program. His teachings are clear and heartfelt, and come from his own personal experience of putting the teachings into practice and seeing the positive effects in his life.
Mary Lincoln was at the center of politics at a time when society’s expectations for women were rigid and circumscribed. The product of Southern aristocracy, she grew up among an influential clan of politicians and elites who founded Lexington, Kentucky. Mary’s early exposure to the male-dominated world of politics instilled in her a keen political acumen and a fierce ambition. Proclaiming as a child that she was destined to become the wife of a president, she played a crucial role in boosting her husband to greatness.
But her hopes for a triumphant experience at the pinnacle of power were lost to the Civil War and unfathomable family tragedies. Still, Mary persevered. She steadfastly supported the Union war effort, visited encampments, tended to wounded soldiers, and generously donated money and gifts to refugees from slavery. She was an unconventional, larger-than-life character who dressed too ostentatiously, grieved too publicly, suffered a shopping addiction, and seemed unable or unwilling to corral her emotions, her temper, and her opinions. She made enemies—influential men who wrote her story for her, often unfairly. After Lincoln was assassinated, she was all but abandoned by the nation he had given his life to defend and preserve.
Former Washington Post writer and columnist Lois Romano rectifies the tortured legacy of Mary Todd Lincoln, who was failed at nearly every turn in her widowhood—by her family, by her government, by medical professionals ill-equipped to diagnose her mental illness, and finally, by history. Romano draws on hundreds of archives, letters, and memoirs to provide the most complete portrait—of not simply of an inconvenient widow, but of a brilliant and flawed woman, who possessed uncommon tenacity in the face of extraordinary adversity and personal torment, and helped launch one of America’s greatest presidents.
Lois Romano will be joined in conversation by Baltimore Banner Editor in Chief Audrey Cooper.
About the Author:
Lois Romano is a national journalist and New York Times bestselling author whose work has illuminated some of the most newsworthy figures and moments in American history and public life. Over the course of a distinguished career, Lois has reported for the Washington Post, Politico, and Newsweek, earning a reputation for insightful storytelling, meticulous research, and a remarkable ability to bring political and historical figures vividly to life.
Her new book, An Inconvenient Widow: The Torment, Trial and Triumph of Mary Todd Lincoln, has been widely praised for its fresh, nuanced portrait of one of America's most misunderstood First Ladies. Through exhaustive research and compelling narrative, Lois invites readers to reconsider Mary Lincoln's life, struggles, and legacy with empathy and historical perspective. The biography reflects her insight into the interplay between politics and the human condition, revealing the complex life of a First Lady who navigated personal turmoil and public scrutiny to play a central role at the most consequential moment in our nation’s history. The book's success has resonated with readers across the country, earning Lois laudatory reviews in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker, cementing her place among today's leading biographers
About the Moderator:

[Profs and Pints Baltimore ](https://www.profsandpints.com/baltimore)presents: **“Reflecting on Narcissists,”** a look at the myth, reality, and treatment of clinical narcissism, with Brian A. Sharpless, licensed clinical psychologist, former faculty member at Penn State and Washington State universities and the American School of Professional Psychology, and author of *Psychodynamic Therapy Techniques.*
[Doors open at 5. The talk starts at 6:30. The room is open seating. Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/baltimore-reflecting-on-narcissists](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/baltimore-reflecting-on-narcissists) ]
Do narcissists really love themselves? Are they truly self-confident? Are celebrities more narcissistic than the rest of us? Does a person’s social media use—and the number of Facebook “friends” they have or selfies they post—tell us anything about their own levels of narcissism?
These are just a few of the fascinating questions that will be tackled by Brian Sharpless, a regular on the Profs and Pints stage. He will discuss the idea of narcissism, define what "narcissistic personality disorder" means to psychologists and psychiatrists, and summarize what the field knows about this condition and its treatment.
You may be particularly surprised to learn about the different ways that narcissism can manifest, some of which have little to do with the arrogant overconfidence that we associate with the narcissist stereotype. For example, many people with narcissism live their lives with chronic feelings of inadequacy. In order to avoid feeling humiliated, they closely observe others so that they can figure out how they should behave. In fact, some narcissists may actually look “depressed” to an untrained eye.
Finally, Dr. Sharpless will give some practical tips and techniques to help you deal with the narcissists in your own life. You'll walk out with a different perspective on yourself and other people, with new knowledge that may help you maintain healthier relationships. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID.)

Acclaimed chef, TV host, Top Chef fan-favorite, and author Carla Hall returns to her first culinary love story—baking—with over 80 sweet and savory recipes.
For Carla Hall, baking is a creative outlet, her source of play, and her first true passion. But her journey from absolute beginner to Top Chef fan-favorite didn’t start until she was well into her twenties with two careers— accounting and modeling —already behind her. Away from home and missing the Southern flavors she grew up with, she took to the kitchen and began to experiment, master, and perfect.
Now, as a multi-cookbook author and guest judge on multiple baking competitions, Carla is ready to share all her baking knowledge that will guide you whether you’re at novice baker or an expert one. Carla Bakes is filled with over 80 recipes for baking savory and sweet goods rooted in her Southern traditions and inspired by her world travels. Carla brings her joy and playfulness to every recipe, showing you just how much fun it is to bake and bring your own twists to new recipes, including:
• breakfast treats like Sorghum Flour Drop Biscuits, Crisp Sweet Corn Waffles, and Savory Clafoutis with Tomatoes, Goat Cheese, and Smoky Tomato Curd
• cookies like Nut Butter Puffed Cereal Treats, Southern Pecan Crinkle Baklava, and Shortbread Cookie Canvas
• pastries like Giant Frosted Strawberry Pop Tart, Sweet Po-Punkin Pie, and Ham & Cheese Paris-Brest
• cakes like Double Chocolate Oat Flour Snack Cake, Lemon Meringue Cake, and Fairytale Forest Party Cake
• yeasted goods like Hot Cross Milk Buns with Port- and Hibiscus-Soaked Fruit, Butternut Squash Beignets with Spiced Sugar, and Chocolate Focaccia
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by baking, set those fears aside. Carla’s expert guidance and encouragement in Carla Bakes will leave you feeling confident and inspired in your kitchen!
Carla Hall will be joined in conversation by Karsonya Wise Whitehead, host of Today with Dr. Kaye on WEAA 88.9 FM.

In this lecture, Mike Casiano will draw from his recent book, Let Us Alone, to explore the racial origins of policing in Baltimore. The lecture will detail two interconnected themes. First, it will examine how policing evolved from an inefficient and vigilante-driven system into a modern and paramilitary endeavor focused on suppressing citizens and maximizing the power, wealth, and reach of capitalists. Second, it will analyze how decades of racial antagonism shaped Baltimore policing into an apparatus primarily oriented around subduing Black freedom. Specifically, the talk will focus on the racialized nature of public order policing, the militarization of the Baltimore police, and violations of due process in the court system.
Mike Casiano is an associate professor in UMBC’s Department of American Studies and a core faculty member in UMBC’s Public Humanities minor. His book, Let Us Alone: The Origins of Baltimore’s Police State, examines the relationship between policing, municipal governance, and race in post-Civil War Baltimore. Mike’s next project is a labor history of early twentieth century port cities in the Mid-Atlantic that examines the relationship between policing, unionization, and race. His work has been published or is forthcoming in Oxford Bibliographies, the Journal of Southern History, and the Journal of Urban History
ASL interpretation will be available for attendees.
Presented in partnership with The Maryland State Archives and The Maryland Four Centuries Project.

[Profs and Pints Baltimore](https://www.profsandpints.com/baltimore) presents: **“Understanding Honor Violence,”** on recognizing and responding to harmful traditional practices that exert control over others, with Sasha K. Taylor, visiting lecturer at Ohio State University’s Global Fellowship Program and advisor and trainer in honor violence prevention.
[Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/baltimore-honor-violence](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/baltimore-honor-violence) .]
People claiming to enforce traditional honor codes are responsible for a significant share of murders and other violent or abusive acts within immigrant and refugee communities. Honor-based violence and abuse often play a role in human trafficking, forced marriage, child marriage, visa-based coercion, and in the abandonment of families across international borders. Yet too often it is underreported, misunderstood, or overlooked by people and institutions with the power to help its victims.
Learn how to spot and deal with honor-based violence with Sasha K. Taylor, a former FBI Intelligence official who provides training to law enforcement, non-profit organizations, and private companies and also is extensively involved with regional organizations that combat human trafficking.
She’ll start by discussing how honor codes that have governed community life since the dawn of human civilization gave rise to the use of honor-related abuse, oppression, shame, and violence to exert control and perpetuate inequality. Although boys and men can be victims of honor-based violence, the perpetrators of it are predominantly male and the survivors predominantly female, lending support to the idea that honor violence is a form of gender-based violence. The forms that such violence can take include genital mutilation and honor killings.
She’ll discuss state and federal data related to the prevalence of various forms of honor violence and describe how complex forms of abuse are often underreported, misunderstood, or overlooked. You’ll learn about cultural and systemic barriers to disclosure, warning signs and risk factors, the intersection of immigration vulnerabilities and abuse, and the challenges that survivors face when seeking protection and services.
We’ll also look at policy responses to honor violence and how gaps within current federal immigration frameworks may unintentionally contribute to vulnerability and exploitation.
Her talk will be especially helpful for first responders, victim advocates, educators, healthcare professionals, social workers, and law enforcement personnel who are often the first point of contact during a crisis. She’ll emphasize trauma-informed engagement, emotional intelligence, cultural competency, and empathetic response strategies that treat survivors with dignity and sensitivity. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID. Bar doors open at 5 pm. The talk starts at 6:30.)

From the most celebrated translator of our time comes a visionary exploration of how translation reshapes and enriches our understanding of the ancient world.
In this sharp and often entertaining tour through antiquity, Emily Wilson—whose renditions of Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad have captured a generation’s imagination—explores the complicated terrain of reading and writing about the ancient past. Drawing on twenty years of scholarship and teaching, Wilson explores the difficult choices that translators must make, the pleasures of finding new solutions to old problems, and the inevitable frustrations of never fully capturing what is in the original work. Across chapters that range from the politics of Helen of Troy to the obscenities of Aristophanes, from Roman imitation of Greek models to contemporary debates over “foreignizing” and “domesticizing” styles, Wilson examines how modern norms of gender, sexuality, violence, humor, and power complicate our readings of ancient works, and how translation always risks denaturing what is unique and strange about the ancient world. Brilliant, erudite, and yet accessible to readers with no classical background, Crossing the Wine-Dark Sea is at once an introduction to the wonders of Greek and Roman literature, a manifesto for the value of translation in a rapidly changing world, and an invitation to encounter ancient cultures anew.
Emily Wilson will be joined in conversation by Johns Hopkins University Classics Chair Karen ni Mheallaigh.
About the Author:
Emily Wilson is a professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She has been named a fellow of the American Academy in Rome, a Guggenheim Fellow, and a MacArthur Fellow. In addition to Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, she has also published translations of Sophocles, Euripides, and Seneca. She lives in Philadelphia.
About the Moderator:
Karen ní Mheallaigh is Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Classics at Johns Hopkins University. A specialist in ancient Greek fiction and cosmological thought, she is the author of Reading fiction with Lucian: fakes, freaks and hyperreality (Cambridge, 2014) and The Moon in the Greek and Roman imagination: myth, literature, science and philosophy (Cambridge, 2020).

[Profs and Pints Baltimore](https://www.profsandpints.com/baltimore) presents: **“The Victorians' Sexual Underworld,”** on sex workers and queer communities in nineteenth century cities, with Andrew Israel Ross, associate professor and chair of history at Loyola University Maryland and author or editor of several books and articles on the history of prostitution, homosexuality, and policing in nineteenth century Paris.
[Doors open at 3. The talk starts at 4:30. The room is open seating. Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Available at [https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/baltimore-victorians-sexual-underworld](https://events.ticketleap.com/tickets/profsandpints/baltimore-victorians-sexual-underworld) .]
We are living through a moral panic about the presence of sexual and gender diversity in our society, as evidenced by attacks on Pride month, calls to ban drag queen story hours, and governmental efforts to redefine sex and gender. Underlying such actions is a sense that the increasing prominence of queer and trans people in American society represents something new and unexpected, a deviation from a clear history of heterosexual and gender stability.
The reality, however, is that queer life—and sexual life broadly—used to be much more central to social life than it is today, especially in growing cities during the Industrial Revolution.
Come to Baltimore’s Guilford Hall to gain an eye-opening understanding of the history of sexual communities often seen as marginal in history–female sex workers, gay men and lesbians, and transgender people.
Dr. Andrew Ross, a historian of sexuality, will explain why public sex was so important to nineteenth century urban culture and how Victorians wrestled with evidence of sexual and gender diversity. Drawing from his intensive study of the history of Paris but also from research on London, Berlin, and New York during the Industrial Age, he’ll discuss the sexual ideology of the Victorians and how it gave substantial opportunities to people who faced a great deal of discrimination then and continue to face it now.
You’ll learn about the practice “regulationism,” which sought to manage the business of sex work so that heterosexual men could always have access to sex.
Then we’ll look at the queer male world – one that often intersected with that of female prostitutes – and the spaces where men found one another quite publicly. Dr. Ross will discuss the emergence of the first gay bars, which were opened (perhaps surprisingly) by women, and talk about how people who did not identify as either men or women navigated this world.
What happened to these cultures? The talk will conclude by focusing on a period between the World Wars characterized by incredible experimentation with sexual identity, community building and politics.
We’ll look at how it came to an end with the rise of the Nazis in Europe and the Red Scare in the United States. (Doors: $17, or $15 with a student ID.)

About the Event
Living with chronic illness can be isolating — especially when it feels like no one truly understands what you’re going through. That’s why we created Chronically ChILL, a social group for chronically ill people who just want to connect, talk, and be themselves.
Our socials are a relaxed, judgment-free space to simply be human and enjoy the company of others who get it. There’s no agenda, no pressure, and no need to talk about symptoms unless you want to. It’s just about making friends, laughing a little, and finding community.
Come as you are — camera optional, pajama friendly, cozy vibes welcome.
⸻
What to Expect
• Easygoing conversation and good company
• A warm, understanding community
• Zero pressure to perform or overshare
• The chance to actually socialize and make new friends who understand the ups and downs of chronic illness
* **Bring your own craft to work side by side with us!**
Whether you join for ten minutes or the full hour, you’re part of the ChILL community.
⸻
☕ What to Bring
• Yourself, exactly as you are
• Snacks or drinks if you'd like
• Feel free to bring any arts and crafts
⸻
Who It’s For
Chronically ill, disabled, and neurodivergent individuals looking for friendship, laughter, and connection in a relaxed online environment.
You don’t have to be “doing well” to show up — you just have to show up.
The year, 1851. The place, a Quaker farming community turned Underground Railroad stronghold, where a Maryland enslaver had journeyed in pursuit of four men who’d fled his plantation years before. In a few hours, he’d be dead…and twenty-seven men from the village of Christiana would be rounded up and put on trial. Not for his murder, but for treason—for waging war against the United States, at a time when it was a crime against the government to obstruct an enslaver looking to reclaim his “property.”
This is story of what happened in Christiana that September morning—and in the ensuing “trial of the century,” which saw the president himself advise the prosecution on strategy and a sitting congressman serve as lead attorney for the defense. But The Ballad of the Fugitive William Parker is also a much larger tale, one spanning decades, following a whole startlingly diverse community of abolitionists in their fight to convince their fellow Americans of the subversive idea that now found itself on trial: that the nation ought to live up the ideals it was founded on, and respect all men as equals.
It’s a story that whisks readers from the quiet farmlands of Lancaster County—where a self-emancipated man named William Parker, whom legend had it bullets could not kill, rallied his neighbors to ride out each night to battle the slavecatchers who stalked their countryside—to Philadelphia’s genteel Society Hill, where socialite Harriet Forten Purvis had the ear of the mayor (and a cellar filled with fugitives). It’s stylish, propulsive, intimately human tale of bravery, ingenuity, and hope—and of ordinary people with little in common who came together to stand against injustice…and won.

Table Talks is a monthly, members-only discussion series designed specifically for solopreneur members who want practical insight, meaningful conversation, and real connection with peers facing similar business challenges. Presented by the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Banks Impact Group (B.I.G. Consulting), these sessions combine data-informed insights with psychology-based approaches to leadership, performance, and business growth. Each gathering features guided, interactive table discussions rooted in current member survey insights—so the conversations reflect what actually matters to you right now. This is not a lecture. It’s a collaborative, small-group experience focused on sharing perspectives, learning from one another, and walking away with ideas you can put into practice immediately. B.I.G. Table Talks meets on the third Tuesday of every month at 4:30 pm and is free for GBCC Solopreneurs and emerging leaders . Come ready to engage, connect, and grow—one conversation at a time.

Fall Focus: Starting Strong — School, Service Year & What Comes Next!
Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

When you became a parent, you probably thought feeding your child would be the easy part. You swore you'd never bribe your kid with dessert, never make a separate meal because it was easier than a standoff, never hear yourself say, "just try it," in a voice that didn't sound like your own.
Or maybe feeding was easy for years—until your child came home one day and said, "My friend says bread makes you fat," and you froze. Maybe your tween started picking at their plate after a pediatrician visit. Maybe your toddler who ate everything suddenly won't touch anything green. Now what?
Every parent wants to feed their kids well—but between picky eating, battles with sugar, confusing nutrition headlines, and the fear of saying the wrong thing about food or bodies, it's hard to feel confident about any of it. Now, in Feed Them Well, Anderson gives you the exact words, scripts, and tools you need to navigate it all—without judgment, guilt, or perfection required.
You'll learn how to talk about food without planting the seeds of diet culture. How to handle sugar, snacks, treats, and dessert in a way that actually works—at home, at birthday parties, at Grandma's house. What to do when your child refuses vegetables or gags on textures. How to navigate weight conversations when doctors, family, or other kids bring it up. And how to cut through nutrition confusion to figure out what truly matters for your family.
This isn't another recipe book. This is the book that teaches you how to think about feeding your kids, so every decision feels less like a guess and more like a plan.
About the Author:
Jennifer Anderson is a registered dietitian and has a master’s of science in public health from Johns Hopkins School of Public Health. In 2019, she founded Kids Eat in Color, an authoritative resource that helps families feed their children from their first bite of solid food through picky eating and elementary-aged nutrition needs. Prior to starting Kids Eat in Color, she coordinated youth nutrition programs at a food bank, performed research in inner-city food deserts, and consulted for the USDA national office SNAP-Ed program. Her academic background is in public health nutrition, cultural anthropology, and economics.

In this stunning and compulsively readable memoir, the Oscar-winning star of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Goonies, and Everything Everywhere All at Once, Ke Huy Quan, tells the story of his journey from Vietnamese refugee to 80s child star to the most inspiring comeback in Hollywood history.
Ke Huy Quan’s Hollywood adventure began when he was twelve years old, a mere five years after his family escaped Communist Northern Vietnam and settled down to a relatively peaceful life in L.A.’s Chinatown. After attending an open call audition on a whim, he was unexpectedly swept up in the wild world of filmmaking: learning to swim from Harrison Ford on the set of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, receiving trucks full of toys from Steven Spielberg and George Lucas for his birthday, meeting Princess Leia and Luke Skywalker, and making lifelong friends on the set of The Goonies.
A star of two of the most beloved movies of the ‘80s, there appeared to be no limit to Ke’s rise. But just a few years later, the roles had dried up and it seemed like Hollywood no longer had a place for him. He eventually left acting to work odd jobs behind the scenes for directors like Wong Kar Wai. His confidence was badly shaken, but his love of performing never abated. It wasn’t until decades later, when he was 49 years old, that he stepped back in front of the camera to star in a strange little indie film called Everything Everywhere All at Once, which surprised everyone with its incredible box-office and awards season success. To call Ke’s Oscar-winning performance a triumphant return would be an understatement.
In this moving, inspirational memoir, Ke paints a vivid self-portrait, telling both heart-wrenching and funny stories of his early rise, slow fall from the spotlight, the resilience that kept him going through his darkest times, and his eventual resurrection on one of the biggest stages in Hollywood. Never Say Die is the story of Ke’s extraordinary life, a love letter to the movies and people that shaped him, and a powerful testament to never giving up on your dreams.
Ke Huy Quan will be joined in conversation by Karsonya Wise Whitehead, host of Today with Dr. Kaye on WEAA 88.9 FM.
About the Author:
Ke Huy Quan is an Oscar-winning actor who immigrated to the United States as a child and grew up in Los Angeles. Discovered at an open casting call with no acting experience, he was cast at age 12 as Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, followed by his role as Data in the beloved adventure classic, Goonies. As opportunities became limited, he stepped away from acting to study at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, graduating in 1999, and later worked behind the scenes as an action choreographer and assistant director. After more than two decades away from acting, he returned to the screen in Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s Academy Award–winning Everything Everywhere All At Once, earning widespread acclaim along with the Academy Award, Golden Globe, and SAG Award for Best Supporting Actor. He has since appeared in Season 2 of the Disney+ series Loki, starred in Universal’s Love Hurts, and voiced Gary De’ Snake in Disney’s animated film Zootopia 2. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Echo.

TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

Baltimore Orioles regular season game (Game 824784).
**THIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUT**
Step into the vibrant streets of the 1970s Bronx and witness the exact moment a global movement began. Birth of a Culture gives you a front-row seat to the origins of hip-hop, told through the firsthand experiences of Grandmaster Flash—one of the founding pioneers who helped build the culture from the ground up.
When you read this book, you feel the pulse of the neighborhood parks, hear the scratch of the vinyl, and experience the raw energy of a community turning its daily struggles into a revolutionary art form. This is not just a collection of dates and facts. It is a deeply personal narrative written by Grandmaster Flash and coauthor Robert “Scoop” Jackson that brings you into the rooms and onto the streets where music changed forever.
This book cuts through the myths to deliver an authentic, chronological history—bringing you alongside Grandmaster Flash as he invents the groundbreaking Quik Mix Theory and helps transform a landscape of social unrest into a global movement. With turntables and microphones, the young innovator sparked a cultural explosion that quickly swept the world.
More than a timeline of musical milestones, this Birth of a Culture explores the profound power of community, resilience, and unapologetic creativity. The challenges and triumphs detailed within these pages mirror the social issues we still face, proving that music remains our most vital tool for connection and change.
Whether you are a lifelong hip-hop fan, a dedicated music historian, or simply someone who loves powerful stories of cultural triumph, this book belongs on your shelf. Once you’ve read Birth of a Culture, you can say you know the undeniable heartbeat of hip-hop's true origins.
Grandmaster Flash will be joined in conversation by Karsonya Wise Whitehead, host of Today with Dr. Kaye on WEAA 88.9 FM.
About the Author:
Grandmaster Flash, born Joseph Saddler on January 1, 1957, is recognized as one of Hip Hop’s architects and builders of the culture, the first DJ to make the turntable a musical instrument by the way of his Quik Mix Theory formula and homed devices. Grandmaster Flash’s technical innovations and artistic contributions have earned him numerous accolades. His impact on the music industry extends beyond his own successful career, as his innovative formula and sounds were translated to sound producing technologies and have inspired generations of DJs, producers and hip-hop artists to push the boundaries of creativity.
About the Moderator:
Karsonya Wise Whitehead is the host of Today with Dr. Kaye on WEAA 88.9 FM. She is the founding director of The Karson Institute for Race, Peace & Social Justice, as well as a communication and African and African American Studies professor at Loyola University.

For centuries, the Chin family has kept its secrets.
In 1878, Duanfang knows he’s destined for greatness. He’ll do anything to uphold and protect the legacy of his Manchu family—even if it means hiding his past.
In 1965, Zheng Yi flies from Taiwan to New York City to have a shot at attending an American college. Thrown into a world of parties, prejudice, and a tumultuous romance, Yi worries that New York may be more than she can handle. But just as she is beginning to adjust, she must make a shocking decision that will irrevocably change her life and her future forever.
Today, Dawn Chin’s family is opaque at best, with heavy expectations and heavier silences. But an assignment to interview her grandmother is about to crack open her real family history: a legacy hundreds of years old, and a lie decades in the making . . .

**Welcome!**
If you are a developer, UX designer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to join or help a tech startup, or even just get involved in a project, this event is for you!
We will be introducing projects for you to get involved with during the pitches. There is no group like this on Meetup or in the startup world because we filter out the BS and get you going on a project ASAP.

What happens first in the event is startup founders pitch their business or idea to the audience, which is full of the developers, designers, marketers, etc.
If you are interested in one of the projects / startups, you can join one of the founders in a breakout room to continue building, workshopping, and/or onboarding the startup with attendees.
People have been able to start and advance their businesses as a result of this process.
We are meeting on Zoom, the link is here in the listing.
**Agenda:**
**Intros:** During the first 10 minutes, we will give you the history, structure, and future plans of Startup Oasis and open signups for founders that want to pitch their startups.
**Pitches:** Each founder will then get up to 3 minutes to pitch their startup. This format is recommended: name, business, the problem, your solution, target customer base, and your biggest challenge/current need. This part is similar to Shark Tank.
**Breakout Groups:** For the remainder of the event, each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk to the founders in greater detail about their needs and challenges in a small group setting. This part is similar to a hackathon.
Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.

**FAQ:**
**Is this event free to attend?** Yes - Startup Oasis will always be free for anyone to attend. If you would like to donate, you can do so directly on our [website](https://donate.stripe.com/eVa2a0dV27Nlb2ofYY). You can also talk to us about volunteer or sponsorship opportunities.
**How do I sign up to pitch?** RSVP here. Right when the event starts, fill out the form and then raise your hand on Zoom. That will also determine the order. You can also buy a VIP ticket to support our cause and guarantee you a spot to pitch. To be eligible to pitch, you must be the cofounder of a technology-based startup. Agencies, consultants, coaches, MLM schemes, and nonprofits are not eligible to pitch, but you can still watch the pitches and join the breakouts.
**What happens after the pitches?** The breakout groups open for the remainder of the event. Each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk more about their business and needs with them.
**Can I invite other people that I know?** Yes - please have them RSVP here or on the [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-oasis-global) event listing.
**How do I get the most out of this event?**
* Founders - In this event, no money is awarded nor are any winners named. We are not here to critique your pitch, just to help you find teammates, cofounders, and feedback from other professionals. Make sure your pitch is 3 minutes or less and clear about what your biggest needs are.
* Attendees - If you are new to startups and tech, feel free to just watch with no pressure to participate. If you are looking to join a startup or find a side project, make sure you take notes during the pitches to join the group of the founder that you're most interested in helping. Most founders need help with either developing the product or with a go-to-market strategy.
*
**Do we meet in person?** We do this event in Atlanta, GA each month in Midtown at ATDC.
**Content:** We are looking for founders to be interviewed or people to interview founders for short videos. Let us know if you are interested!

### Meet the Teacher:
**Andrew Gaudreau**
Andrew is a sincere practitioner of meditation and Kadampa Buddhism, and is a student on our Foundation Program. His teachings are clear and heartfelt, and come from his own personal experience of putting the teachings into practice and seeing the positive effects in his life.
The year is 1981. Tehran is in violent turmoil in the wake of the Iranian Revolution. The Soviets are planning to overthrow the Ayatollah’s fledgling Islamist regime. If they do so, one response contemplated in the secret chambers of American power—unknown to the public—would be to strike with nuclear weapons. Redwood is the story of how, at the height of the Cold War, one mysterious double agent, whose intelligence reached the highest levels of American and British governments, cracked open the KGB, revealed the Kremlin’s secret plot, and prevented Armageddon.
“Redwood” was the MI6 codename for this unsung, hitherto-unknown hero of the Cold War, a highly trained, six-foot-four Russian intelligence officer who chose to expose the KGB’s deepest secrets, compelled to swap sides by a shaming secret of his own. Facing exposure, with both the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and his own KGB colleagues closing in, he demanded that MI6 try to smuggle him out of Iran in a high-stakes escape plan.
This is the gripping tale of one man’s courage, and its extraordinary unintended consequences that still shape our world today. It’s about a moving friendship between spies on opposite sides of the global conflict; about marriage, loyalty, betrayal and sexual dysfunction; and about how decisions made in secret can have huge, long-term ramifications.
Drawing on never-before-seen material from archives in multiple countries, and interviews with the participants including officers from MI6 and MI5, the KGB and CIA, Redwood plunges readers back into the shadowy world of The Spy and the Traitor. It lifts the lid on an unknown and highly significant Cold War victory, on the machinations of history’s Great Game, and on how espionage really works.
Without Redwood, our world would be very different—and might not exist at all.
Ben Macintyre will be joined in conversation by Ian McCredie, former MI6 head of station in Iran and Redwood’s case officer.
About the Author:
Ben Macintyre is a writer-at-large for The Times (UK) and the bestselling author of Agent Sonya, The Spy and the Traitor, A Spy Among Friends, Double Cross, Operation Mincemeat, Agent Zigzag, Rogue Heroes, and Prisoners of the Castle, among other books. Macintyre has also written and presented BBC documentaries of his work.
About the Moderator:
Ian McCredie pursued a full career in the British Foreign Service with posts in Zambia, Iran, Denmark, many Middle Eastern countries, the UK Mission to the UN in New York (as a member of the UN Security Council) and five years in Washington DC as senior coordinator between UK & US intelligence agencies - with particular focus on the response to 9/11 and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Postings in London included head of assessments for the Middle East, head of the Iran Task Force and head of new entrant officer training.

Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

Hosting Keyholder: Whitney
In the idyllic American town of Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania, there lived a family with nine siblings, the youngest a girl named Barb. As the older children headed off to college and started their lives, only Barb was home to see their beautiful, still-young mother fall under a gothic spell, changing into someone she didn’t recognize: withdrawn, neglectful, uncaring. Thus begins The Vanishing Family, journalist Robert Kolker’s superb follow-up to Hidden Valley Road (“Deeply compassionate and chilling,” wrote The Washington Post). This family, we learn, has a genetic mutation that causes dementia, but with an especially cruel twist. As early as their forties, formerly loving parents and hard-driving executives will lose their jobs, have affairs, take up drinking—shed all inhibitions and sense of responsibility—and become people their families hardly know. Their former personalities seem to vanish—and there is a fifty-fifty chance that it will happen to their children, too.
The Vanishing Family unfolds like a heartbreaking thriller as the siblings begin to realize that what happened to their mother is happening to them: first one, then two, three, four, and more begin to change. Sue, in search of a calling, finds her place in caring for the others. Barb sets out to find a cure. Alongside their story, Kolker weaves in the dramatic scientific fight against dementia; after decades of blind alleys, this family’s rare form of FTD (frontotemporal dementia) might lead to a breakthrough in the prevention and treatment of all dementia—including the scourge of Alzheimer’s disease. Moving, intimate, unexpectedly hopeful and redemptive, The Vanishing Family is an enthralling narrative about one family’s fate, and a medical detective story that speaks to all of us who fear losing ourselves at the end.
Robert Kolker will be joined in conversation by bestselling author Laura Lippman.
About the Author:
Robert Kolker is a contributing writer at The New York Times Magazine and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Hidden Valley Road, named an Oprah’s Book Club Pick, a New York Times Book Review Top 10 book of the year, a GQ Best Book of Literary Journalism of the 21st Century, and a Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of the Century. His first book was Lost Girls, named a New York Times Notable Book and a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2013.
About the Moderator:
Laura Lippman is a New York Times best-selling novelist who has been called one of the "essential" crime writers of the last 100 years. In 2025, she was named a Grandmaster by the Mystery Writers of America. She has published 26 novels, two short story collections, a book of essays, and one children's book. Her work has won or been shortlisted for every major prize given to crime novelists working in English. A limited series based on her 2019 novel Lady in the Lake, was released by AppleTV in 2024 starring Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram. Laura lives in Baltimore and New Orleans.

Black Butterfly Farm Pop-Up Jazz Jam
**THIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUT**
In the tradition of her bestselling, award-winning phenomenon, The Giver, Lois Lowry delivers a story about censorship, comfort, complicity, and the radical power of books to open portals and unlock our humanity through our most powerful tool: the imagination.
Twins Tessa and Theo live in a world ruled by a tyrannical leader, where there are no dangers or rebels... or so they've been told. In this world, citizens live long lives, and while many hate their leader, they are comfortable and safe. So, when Tessa's brother disappears, nobody wants to discuss it. But then Miriam, their 135-year-old neighbor bound for the retirement community, slips Tessa a key—not only to her brother's disappearance, but to the source of all real magic . . . books. As Tessa and her parents begin their search for Theo, Tessa learns that books not only tell us stories—they open portals and unlock our humanity through our most powerful tool: the imagination. Once that truth has been revealed, Tessa won't be able to rest until she has retrieved her twin and society itself has been transformed.
Two-time Newbery-winner Lois Lowry has crafted a narrative that feels at once prescient and eternal: in this world, the imagination is the revolution. Not only does Building 903 sit in the same resonant space as The Giver Quartet, but it is also a profound addition to Lois's enduring body of work—and a testament to the strength and value of her voice, vision, and legacy.

Lois Lowry is the author of more than fifty books for children and young adults, including the New York Times bestselling Giver Quartet and the popular Anastasia Krupnik series. She has received countless honors, among them the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award, the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award, the California Young Reader Medal, and the Mark Twain Award.

Teresa and Mark Sievers led an enviable life in Bonita Springs, Florida. Teresa ran a thriving medical practice specializing in anti-aging and holistic care. Mark, a former nurse, managed the business while home-schooling their two daughters. Then, in June 2015, the unimaginable happened: Teresa was found murdered in their kitchen.
Mark’s alibi was airtight. He and the girls were in New York on a family vacation. Initial signs pointed to a burglary gone wrong, but it soon became clear that the attack was targeted. The Sievers’ friends and relatives were shocked. Teresa was a respected, charismatic physician, nicknamed a “modern-day Mother Teresa.” Yet someone hated her enough to bludgeon her to death.
Cracks appeared beneath the glossy surface of the Sievers’ lives. Teresa’s quest for fame had led her to make some questionable decisions. The couple’s marriage was passionate but volatile. Then there was Mark’s childhood best friend, who looked so much like him that the two were often mistaken for twins. The bond between the two men was intense and intimate.
In a compelling narrative that goes beyond conventional true crime tropes, acclaimed author and psychoanalyst Mikita Brottman delves into a case that encompasses both obsessive love and deep hatred, probing the corrosive, sometimes deadly nature of both.
Mikita Brottman will be joined in conversation by poet and MICA professor Jane Lewty.
About the Author:
Mikita Brottman is a writer and psychoanalyst living in Baltimore, Maryland. Her book, An Unexplained Death, was shortlisted for the Gold Dagger Award for nonfiction by the Crime Writers Association of the UK. She has a DPhil from Oxford University and is a professor of literature at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
About the Moderator:
Jane Lewty is the author of Bravura Cool (1913 Press) In One Form To Find Another (Cleveland State University Poetry Center). Her third book of poetry, Vespers, is forthcoming from the University of Iowa Press in November, 2026. She lives in Baltimore, and teaches at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA).

Mia is not excited about the long, boring drive to Grandma’s house.
Too many miles. Too much waiting. Too little fun.
But then her dad lets her in on a secret game and everything changes.

With playful, not-to-be-missed illustrations and a tender family twist, Mia’s Cheetah celebrates the power of imagination waiting just outside our windows.

Malik Page—though unless you're his mama, call him "Shake"—dreams of making the Marshall Grove varsity basketball squad as an eighth grader. Then he'll be on his way to joining the ranks of Chicago legends like his pops and late Uncle Kenny. But when Shake fractures his ankle in a championship game, he's sidelined for the first time since his first dribble.
As his world is turned upside down, Shake feels like there’s ginger ale bubbling in his chest and sweat slicking on his palms. With a best friend who’s getting more distant by the day, a growing silence between him and his dad, and varsity tryouts fast approaching, Shake will have to cross up every obstacle to find a way back onto the court—and back to being himself. Thankfully in Marshall Grove, the sky is always full of hope.

Since Edgar Allan Poe’s mysterious death in 1849, his stories and poems have captivated millions of readers around the world. Two centuries later, why do we continue to descend into the darkness of his imagination—and of the genres, from horror to crime, that he pioneered?
In this spellbinding and singular book, Guggenheim Fellow and Whiting grant recipient Emily Ogden plumbs the darkness within Poe and enters it alongside him. She interweaves stories from his mysterious and tragic life—from his strange disappearances and tortured romances to his nearly fatal use of opium—with those of his most famous readers and translators, including poet Charles Baudelaire, writer Julio Cortázar, and psychoanalyst Marie Bonaparte, a descendant of Napoleon and a patient of Sigmund Freud.
Tracing their passionate attachments to Poe—and Ogden’s own, unexpectedly sparked when she taught an introductory Poe course at the University of Virginia, where Poe himself was once a student—Darkness Becomes Bright makes a different case for literature from the one we most often hear. This exquisite volume shows how Poe’s vision and its echoes across the generations allow us to make peace with our own flawed humanity.
Emily Ogden will be joined in conversation by WYPR's Senior News Analyst Tom Hall.
About the Author:
Emily Ogden is the author of On Not Knowing: How to Love and Other Essays and Credulity: A Cultural History of US Mesmerism.

Fall Focus: Starting Strong — School, Service Year & What Comes Next!
Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

Join constitutional law scholar Maxwell Stearns for a discussion of his award-winning book, Parliamentary America: The Least Radical Means of Radically Repairing Our Broken Democracy. Americans across the political spectrum increasingly express frustration with their electoral choices, their political parties, and the functioning of our governmental institutions. Drawing upon illustrations from popular culture and the experiences of democracies around the world, Stearns identifies the root problem of two-party presidentialism. Stearns explores why coalition governments, multiparty competition, and parliamentary institutions have proved more successful around the globe and how their best features can be pragmatically adapted to the United States.
Stearns will examine popularly discussed alternatives, including ranked-choice voting, the national popular vote, and congressional term limits. He will explain why, despite the growing attention such reforms have received, none address the profound challenges confronting American democracy and each faces fundamental enactment challenges. In this engaging and accessible presentation, Stearns will discuss the continuing crisis of democratic governance, the prospects for meaningful reform, and why serious conversations about constitutional design matter more than ever.
About the Author:
Maxwell L. Stearns is the Venable, Baetjer & Howard Professor of Law at the University of Maryland Carey School of Law. He has authored dozens of articles and several books on the Constitution, the Supreme Court, and the economic analysis of law.

Thirty years after her solo journey to America, Chinese-born Lily Qi became a Maryland state delegate. It was a gratifying moment she did not take for granted. Qi had overcome a viral WeChat disinformation campaign from her Chinese community and met with skepticism from the Democratic establishment before being elected.
Elected American tells the inspirational story of Qi’s dreams, setbacks, and achievements with candor and humility. Growing up in Mao’s Shanghai when “politics meant danger,” she never imagined running for public office. However, living in America, Qi came to see political participation as a missed opportunity for immigrants. As she campaigned to energize her cultural base, Qi realized she had to teach first-time voters how to make their votes count in a system not designed for them.
As the only U.S. state legislator to have lived through China’s Cultural Revolution, Qi brings a rare cross-system perspective to American politics and the modern-day Asian American identity. Elected American is a political memoir and an immigrant story that emphasizes that democracy doesn’t wait on the sidelines—it favors those who participate.
Lily Qi will be joined in conversation by Maryland State Delegate Regina Boyce.
About the Author:
Lily Qi has served in the Maryland House of Delegates since 2019, representing Montgomery County, a suburb of Washington DC. As a champion for economic competitiveness and cultural competency, Qi is a leading voice on immigrant integration, civic and political engagement, and the Asian American experience.
About the Moderator:
Regina T. Boyce was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2018 in the 43rd District and re-elected in 2022 and 2026 in the redistricted 43A. Delegate Boyce serves on the House Environment and Transportation Committee for eight years serving on varies subcommittees to include the Environment, Motor Vehicle and Transportation, Housing and Real Property. Delegate Boyce currently serves on the Energy subcommittee and chairs the Natural Resources and Open Spaces subcommittee. Delegate Boyce is a member of the Baltimore City Delegation, Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, The Women’s Caucus, The Transit Caucus, and is an associate member of the Latino Caucus.

Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to

TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

"Where Real Estate Investors Connect!"
See you there,
Marcus Hairston and The BW REI Meetup Team
#1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning author Roz Chast teams up with her fellow New Yorker cartoonist Jason Adam Katzenstein to rip the Tupperware lid off what's really going on in their kitchens.
The kitchen is the “heart of the home,” or at least it's supposed to be. But wait! What's that lurking under the sink? Behind the cabinets? In the back of the refrigerator?! When celebrated New Yorker cartoonists Roz Chast and Jason Adam Katzenstein confessed to each other that their kitchens were far from Martha Stewart perfect, they knew they couldn't be the only ones cracking under the pressure of their pressure cookers.
In The Two Saddest Kitchens, Roz and Jason combine their hilarious cartoon sensibilities to take (chicken) stock of everything from tragic pantries to the secret double life of Mr. Clean. Let Roz and Jason guide you through their divine kitchen comedy as they ponder the fancy utensils that will never be used, the recipes that will never be followed, and the dream kitchens that exist only on the astral plane, which is maybe for the best.
About the Authors:
Roz Chast’s cartoons began appearing in the New Yorker in 1978, where she has since published more than one thousand. She is the author of the graphic memoirs Can We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, a #1 New York Times bestseller (100+ weeks), a National Book Critics Circle Award and Kirkus Prize winner and finalist for the National Book Award; National Bestseller I Must Be Dreaming; Going Into Town (Winner of the New York City Book Award); What I Hate: From A to Z; and her cartoon collections The Party, After You Left and Theories of Everything, among others. She was awarded the Harvey Hall of Fame Award. She lives in Connecticut and New York.
Jason Adam Katzenstein is a cartoonist and comedy writer whose work has appeared in the New Yorker, the New York Times, and MAD Magazine. He is the author and illustrator of the graphic memoir Everything Is an Emergency. He lives in New York.

**A night for Baltimore’s builders, makers, and innovators.**
Baltimore has always been a city of builders, from shipyards to startups, murals to microchips. "Built with Charm" is a new gathering for everyone building something in our city.
Whether you’re shipping an app, experimenting with new tech, finishing a client project you’re proud of, or just getting started on an idea, this is your space to share, connect, and celebrate the act of building something in the city.
## **Why this exists:**
We believe the best ideas often start small and they start here. This isn't about corporate polish or pitch decks. It’s about:
* **Progress over polish:** Unfinished is welcome.
* **Community over competition:** Share, support, and build together.
* **Local over corporate:** Highlighting what’s being made right here.
* **Creativity over conformity:** Code, design, hardware, art—it all counts.
## **What to expect:**
Each event is a simple, energetic gathering focused on sharing and connection.
* **Show & Tell:** 5-7 minute casual demos (no slides needed).
* **Open Mic:** 1-minute lightning ideas from anyone in the audience.
* **Connect:** Time to talk, network, and collaborate with other creative people.
## Want to Present?
Have a project or idea you'd like to share?

When Grandma Olivia Hollis passes away, her funeral reunites four generations of heirs, complete with a surprise will. Grandma has orchestrated a New Orleans scavenger hunt for her female relatives, determined to bring her family back together if it’s the last thing she does. Everyone game? If not, no one gets a dime.
Of course, Grandma, bless her meddling heart, has other motives in mind for all of them. Especially for her guarded sister, Mona, who fled decades ago and never looked back. Following a preplanned itinerary for one revelatory week, the women find themselves on a Mississippi River jazz cruise, braving a bayou swamp tour, uncovering forgotten histories in old cemeteries, rekindling former flames, and, just as grandma planned, unlocking what they’ve hidden from each other for far too long.
Amid beignets, popcorn shrimp, and chicory coffee―so bitter and sweet―these women just might discover that no matter what awaits them at the end, the real treasure is becoming the family they were meant to be.

Notes on a Blacklash is veteran White House reporter April Ryan’s gripping, soul-baring look at what happens when the world suddenly turns its full attention on you. This isn’t just the story of one viral moment with President Trump. It’s about the avalanche that follows: the scrutiny, the emotional and physical toll, and the way your identity can become fuel for headlines and hashtags.
April pulls back the curtain on what it truly costs to be seen and what it takes to survive it. With vulnerability and power, she recounts the moments that made her go viral, not because she chased attention, but because she showed up authentically. Her presence, her truth, and her refusal to shrink under pressure struck a chord and sparked cultural firestorms.
From a high-stakes press room showdown to the history-making decision by Vice President Kamala Harris, from the public disrespect of Stevie Wonder to the slap heard around the world, April explores how race, gender, and power collide in a world addicted to outrage and instant opinions.
At its core, this book explores visibility—its price, its power, and the fight to reclaim your story when millions are watching. What does it mean to go viral when your hair is politicized, your voice is policed, and your very existence is treated as a threat? Sometimes, this is what it feels like when the spotlight finds you: uninvited, unrelenting, and impossible to ignore.
About the Author:
April Ryan is a renowned journalist, author, and political analyst. She hosts The Tea with April on Substack and has authored Black Women Will Save the World and Under Fire. Based in the surrounding Baltimore area, Ryan continues to amplify critical conversations on race, gender, and politics.

There is no shortage of footage immortalizing the men who spoke at the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, when 250,000 Americans gathered beneath the Lincoln Memorial to call for an end to segregation. There were reverends and rabbis, activists and Rat-Pack icons—and of course the day’s headliner, whose prophetic dream of a post-Jim Crow world has forever defined the Civil Rights Movement. But there is no “class photo” of the Black women who helped organize the march, performed on its main stage, or were honored during its “Tribute to Negro Women Fighters for Freedom.”
In How Bright the Path Grows, Marcia Chatelain weaves a gleaming group portrait of these singular women. Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker; civil rights activist Rosa Parks, gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns, including Eva Jessye, the choir director who designed the day’s musical program, and Anna Hedgeman, the coordinator who pushed in the eleventh hour for a tribute to Black women’s work.
How Bright the Path Grows is a scintillating group biography, rendering the lives of thirteen Black women visionaries—some famous, others soon to be—in novelistic detail and like never seen before.
Marcia Chatelain will be joined in conversation by award-winning journalist and author Elaine Weiss.
About the Author:
Marcia Chatelain is a Presidential Penn Compact Professor of Africana studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She is the author of South Side Girls and Franchise, which won the 2021 Pulitzer Prize in History, the James Beard Foundation Book Award for Writing, the Hagley Prize for Business History, and the Lawrence W.

Fall Focus: Starting Strong — School, Service Year & What Comes Next!
Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

**THIS PROGRAM IS SOLD OUT**
The long-awaited memoir by the comedy legend and author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, a beautiful and mesmerizing book that reveals as never before his childhood in South Central Los Angeles, his time in the infamous Bloods gang, and how humor became his salvation.
I learned a joke could be more than humor. It was body armor. Could be a spell. Could be a sword and a shield, all in one breath.
He was always Charlie’s Boy—even before he found his name, his voice, his fame.
In this raw, cinematic, and deeply personal memoir, acclaimed comedian and cultural critic D.L. Hughley documents his rise from the streets of South Central Los Angeles to the national spotlight—and the man who quietly stood behind him through it all.
While his mother’s wrath shaped his early years with fear and rejection, it was Charlie Hughley—a soft-spoken bag handler at the Los Angeles Airport—who raised D.L. and taught him how to survive through tough love and sacrifice. Though he was not D.L.’s biological father—a fact only revealed when D.L. was ten—Charlie gave his boy the only thing he truly needed: a sense of being seen.
It was a time when gangs ruled the streets of South Central, and D.L. rose through the ranks of the Bloods. But when his mother’s car was shot up and dead roses were left on his doorstep—signaling he was marked for death—D.L.’s mother knew that he couldn’t stay in Los Angeles. So, D.L. boarded a bus to Ohio and left behind everything he understood. It was exile. But it proved to be a fresh start.
This is not just a coming-of-age story. It’s the story of how one man found his voice by being raised in silence—and how he learned to get on stage and turn pain into punch lines. Through storytelling that’s both unsparing and funny, Charlie’s Boy is a tribute to the man who never asked for one, and a reckoning for the boy who had to wrestle for love, identity, and truth.
About the Author:
D.L. Hughley is one of “The Original Kings of Comedy.” He hosts the national radio program The D.L. Hughley Show, which is syndicated in more than sixty markets. His comedy specials have appeared on HBO, Netflix, Comedy Central, and Showtime. His satirical documentary special, DL Hughley: The Endangered List, received the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award. He created and starred in the ABC sitcom The Hughleys. He is the author of the New York Times bestsellers How Not to Get Shot and Black Man, White House. How Not to Get Shot was selected as a finalist for the Goodreads Choice Awards and the Audie Awards. D.L. lives with his family in Los Angeles, California.

**Welcome!**
If you are a developer, UX designer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to join or help a tech startup, or even just get involved in a project, this event is for you!
We will be introducing projects for you to get involved with during the pitches. There is no group like this on Meetup or in the startup world because we filter out the BS and get you going on a project ASAP.
(Stay inside the Startup Oasis by joining our [newsletter](https://mailchi.mp/1a83f443c5ed/startupoasis)!)
What happens first in the event is startup founders pitch their business or idea to the audience, which is full of the developers, designers, marketers, etc.
If you are interested in one of the projects / startups, you can join one of the founders in a breakout room to continue building, workshopping, and/or onboarding the startup with attendees.
People have been able to start and advance their businesses as a result of this process.
We are meeting on Zoom, the link is here in the listing.
**Agenda:**
**Intros:** During the first 10 minutes, we will give you the history, structure, and future plans of Startup Oasis and open signups for founders that want to pitch their startups.
**Pitches:** Each founder will then get up to 3 minutes to pitch their startup. This format is recommended: name, business, the problem, your solution, target customer base, and your biggest challenge/current need. This part is similar to Shark Tank.
**Breakout Groups:** For the remainder of the event, each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk to the founders in greater detail about their needs and challenges in a small group setting. This part is similar to a hackathon.
Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.

**FAQ:**
**Is this event free to attend?** Yes - Startup Oasis will always be free for anyone to attend. If you would like to donate, you can do so directly on our [website](https://donate.stripe.com/eVa2a0dV27Nlb2ofYY). You can also talk to us about volunteer or sponsorship opportunities.
**How do I sign up to pitch?** RSVP here. Right when the event starts, fill out the form and then raise your hand on Zoom. That will also determine the order. You can also buy a VIP ticket to support our cause and guarantee you a spot to pitch. To be eligible to pitch, you must be the cofounder of a technology-based startup. Agencies, consultants, coaches, MLM schemes, and nonprofits are not eligible to pitch, but you can still watch the pitches and join the breakouts.
**What happens after the pitches?** The breakout groups open for the remainder of the event. Each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk more about their business and needs with them.
**Can I invite other people that I know?** Yes - please have them RSVP here or on the [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-oasis-global) event listing.
**How do I get the most out of this event?**
* Founders - In this event, no money is awarded nor are any winners named. We are not here to critique your pitch, just to help you find teammates, cofounders, and feedback from other professionals. Make sure your pitch is 3 minutes or less and clear about what your biggest needs are.
* Attendees - If you are new to startups and tech, feel free to just watch with no pressure to participate. If you are looking to join a startup or find a side project, make sure you take notes during the pitches to join the group of the founder that you're most interested in helping. Most founders need help with either developing the product or with a go-to-market strategy.
*
**Do we meet in person?** We do this event in Atlanta, GA each month in Midtown at ATDC.
**Content:** We are looking for founders to be interviewed or people to interview founders for short videos. Let us know if you are interested!

Fall Focus: Starting Strong — School, Service Year & What Comes Next!
Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

Fall Focus: Starting Strong — School, Service Year & What Comes Next!
Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

B.I.G. Table Talks for Solopreneurs B.I.G. Table Talks is a monthly, members-only discussion series designed specifically for solopreneur members who want practical insight, meaningful conversation, and real connection with peers facing similar business challenges. Presented by the Greater Baltimore Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Banks Impact Group (B.I.G. Consulting), these sessions combine data-informed insights with psychology-based approaches to leadership, performance, and business growth. Each gathering features guided, interactive table discussions rooted in current member survey insights—so the conversations reflect what actually matters to you right now. This is not a lecture. It’s a collaborative, small-group experience focused on sharing perspectives, learning from one another, and walking away with ideas you can put into practice immediately. B.I.G. Table Talks meets on the third Tuesday of every month at 4:30 pm and is free for GBCC Solopreneurs and emerging leaders . Come ready to engage, connect, and grow—one conversation at a time.

Fall Focus: Starting Strong — School, Service Year & What Comes Next!
Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

Unallocated Space is hosting Happy Hour!
This is an unstructured event where we can all get together, break bread, and hang out virtually. Bring your preferred beverage, some good conversation, and let's chat!
This is a virtual event hosted over Zoom.
Sometimes we play DnD or Minecraft.
**Welcome!**
If you are a developer, UX designer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to join or help a tech startup, or even just get involved in a project, this event is for you!
We will be introducing projects for you to get involved with during the pitches. There is no group like this on Meetup or in the startup world because we filter out the BS and get you going on a project ASAP.
(Stay inside the Startup Oasis by joining our [newsletter](https://mailchi.mp/1a83f443c5ed/startupoasis)!)
What happens first in the event is startup founders pitch their business or idea to the audience, which is full of the developers, designers, marketers, etc.
If you are interested in one of the projects / startups, you can join one of the founders in a breakout room to continue building, workshopping, and/or onboarding the startup with attendees.
People have been able to start and advance their businesses as a result of this process.
We are meeting on Zoom, the link is here in the listing.
**Agenda:**
**Intros:** During the first 10 minutes, we will give you the history, structure, and future plans of Startup Oasis and open signups for founders that want to pitch their startups.
**Pitches:** Each founder will then get up to 3 minutes to pitch their startup. This format is recommended: name, business, the problem, your solution, target customer base, and your biggest challenge/current need. This part is similar to Shark Tank.
**Breakout Groups:** For the remainder of the event, each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk to the founders in greater detail about their needs and challenges in a small group setting. This part is similar to a hackathon.
Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
Use this [link](https://lnk.bio/startup.oasis) to:
* Follow us on LinkedIn
* Join our community on Discord
* Donate to our cause
* Visit our website
**FAQ:**
**Is this event free to attend?** Yes - Startup Oasis will always be free for anyone to attend. If you would like to donate, you can do so directly on our [website](https://donate.stripe.com/eVa2a0dV27Nlb2ofYY). You can also talk to us about volunteer or sponsorship opportunities.
**How do I sign up to pitch?** RSVP here. Right when the event starts, fill out the form and then raise your hand on Zoom. That will also determine the order. You can also buy a VIP ticket to support our cause and guarantee you a spot to pitch. To be eligible to pitch, you must be the cofounder of a technology-based startup. Agencies, consultants, coaches, MLM schemes, and nonprofits are not eligible to pitch, but you can still watch the pitches and join the breakouts.
**What happens after the pitches?** The breakout groups open for the remainder of the event. Each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk more about their business and needs with them.
**Can I invite other people that I know?** Yes - please have them RSVP here or on the [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-oasis-global) event listing.
**How do I get the most out of this event?**
* Founders - In this event, no money is awarded nor are any winners named. We are not here to critique your pitch, just to help you find teammates, cofounders, and feedback from other professionals. Make sure your pitch is 3 minutes or less and clear about what your biggest needs are.
* Attendees - If you are new to startups and tech, feel free to just watch with no pressure to participate. If you are looking to join a startup or find a side project, make sure you take notes during the pitches to join the group of the founder that you're most interested in helping. Most founders need help with either developing the product or with a go-to-market strategy.
*
**Do we meet in person?** We do this event in Atlanta, GA each month in Midtown at ATDC.
**Content:** We are looking for founders to be interviewed or people to interview founders for short videos. Let us know if you are interested!

Fall Focus: Starting Strong — School, Service Year & What Comes Next!
Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

Fall Focus: Starting Strong — School, Service Year & What Comes Next!
Fall is a season of new beginnings! As young people head back to
school, college, training programs, and work — and our newest Maryland Corps / Service Year members begin their year of service —
TouchPoint
threadHOURS
is here to help everyone start strong and stay on track.
Each Wednesday at threadHOURS, young people can get hands-on support navigating the opportunities and challenges that come with a new school or program year. Whether they need help adjusting to a new schedule, staying on top of school or Service Year expectations, connecting to resources, solving a problem before it becomes a barrier, or thinking ahead to their next academic or professional step, threadHOURS is a place to check in, get connected, and keep moving forward.
For our
Maryland Corps / Service Year members
, threadHOURS is also a place to stay connected throughout the year — celebrating wins, troubleshooting challenges at their host sites, accessing additional resources and opportunities, and making sure their year of service is building toward what comes next.
How you can roll as a volunteer:
The beginning of a new school, work, or service year is a great time to reconnect with your young person. Ask what they’re excited about, what feels challenging, and what would help them start the year strong. Come to threadHOURS together to make a plan, tackle a next step, or connect with someone who can help.
You don’t need to have all the answers — showing up, asking questions, and helping your young person navigate the transition is exactly the relational scaffolding they need.

Unallocated Space is hosting Happy Hour!
This is an unstructured event where we can all get together, break bread, and hang out virtually. Bring your preferred beverage, some good conversation, and let's chat!
This is a virtual event hosted over Zoom.
Sometimes we play DnD or Minecraft.
**Welcome!**
If you are a developer, UX designer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to join or help a tech startup, or even just get involved in a project, this event is for you!
We will be introducing projects for you to get involved with during the pitches. There is no group like this on Meetup or in the startup world because we filter out the BS and get you going on a project ASAP.
(Stay inside the Startup Oasis by joining our [newsletter](https://mailchi.mp/1a83f443c5ed/startupoasis)!)
What happens first in the event is startup founders pitch their business or idea to the audience, which is full of the developers, designers, marketers, etc.
If you are interested in one of the projects / startups, you can join one of the founders in a breakout room to continue building, workshopping, and/or onboarding the startup with attendees.
People have been able to start and advance their businesses as a result of this process.
We are meeting on Zoom, the link is here in the listing.
**Agenda:**
**Intros:** During the first 10 minutes, we will give you the history, structure, and future plans of Startup Oasis and open signups for founders that want to pitch their startups.
**Pitches:** Each founder will then get up to 3 minutes to pitch their startup. This format is recommended: name, business, the problem, your solution, target customer base, and your biggest challenge/current need. This part is similar to Shark Tank.
**Breakout Groups:** For the remainder of the event, each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk to the founders in greater detail about their needs and challenges in a small group setting. This part is similar to a hackathon.
Startup Oasis was created to pierce the illusion of accessibility of startups and tech by creating a grassroots forum for early-stage founders to pitch to those in the tech ecosystem to get real-time feedback for their idea or business.
Use this [link](https://lnk.bio/startup.oasis) to:
* Follow us on LinkedIn
* Join our community on Discord
* Donate to our cause
* Visit our website
**FAQ:**
**Is this event free to attend?** Yes - Startup Oasis will always be free for anyone to attend. If you would like to donate, you can do so directly on our [website](https://donate.stripe.com/eVa2a0dV27Nlb2ofYY). You can also talk to us about volunteer or sponsorship opportunities.
**How do I sign up to pitch?** RSVP here. Right when the event starts, fill out the form and then raise your hand on Zoom. That will also determine the order. You can also buy a VIP ticket to support our cause and guarantee you a spot to pitch. To be eligible to pitch, you must be the cofounder of a technology-based startup. Agencies, consultants, coaches, MLM schemes, and nonprofits are not eligible to pitch, but you can still watch the pitches and join the breakouts.
**What happens after the pitches?** The breakout groups open for the remainder of the event. Each founder gets a breakout room, and you can talk more about their business and needs with them.
**Can I invite other people that I know?** Yes - please have them RSVP here or on the [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/startup-oasis-global) event listing.
**How do I get the most out of this event?**
* Founders - In this event, no money is awarded nor are any winners named. We are not here to critique your pitch, just to help you find teammates, cofounders, and feedback from other professionals. Make sure your pitch is 3 minutes or less and clear about what your biggest needs are.
* Attendees - If you are new to startups and tech, feel free to just watch with no pressure to participate. If you are looking to join a startup or find a side project, make sure you take notes during the pitches to join the group of the founder that you're most interested in helping. Most founders need help with either developing the product or with a go-to-market strategy.
*
**Do we meet in person?** We do this event in Atlanta, GA each month in Midtown at ATDC.
**Content:** We are looking for founders to be interviewed or people to interview founders for short videos. Let us know if you are interested!
