For over 17 years, Community Empowerment Association, Inc. (CEA) has been in the forefront of offering culturally specific programs, services and initiatives to families of color in the Greater Pittsburgh area, equipping them with the awareness and tools necessary to move towards self-determination, self-sufficiency and sustainability.

For the last 8 years, CEA has sponsored the Black Family Reunion to provide a safe place for families throughout Allegheny County to come together for cultural networking, educational workshops, health awareness and screenings, recreation and fun. More specifically, the event honors and celebrates the rich culture and humanity of African Americans.

The 8th Annual Black Family Reunion & Cultural Arts Weekend is geared towards the theme 'Cultivating Healthy Families and Communities' which exemplifies and celebrates the Black Family as a unit that promotes positive and healthy behaviors within our communities.

“Understanding that the community is in crisis and recognizing the struggles disadvantaged and minority families endure to survive, the Black Family Reunion is a way to entertain, educate and empower people in ways traditional to our culture,” says T. Rashad Byrdsong, founder and CEO of Community Empowerment Association. “There is something for everyone to enjoy. This event is for everyone!”

Vendors and basketball players are encouraged to contact the Community Empowerment Association by telephone 412.371.3689, e-mail (pittsburghblackfamilyreunion@gmail.com) or by visiting the office (400 N. Lexington Avenue, Building 500) to obtain more information.

“This festival is just another way for us to build families and communities, says Byrdsong.”

The Reunion will also have its version of family feud, where different families compete against each other on trivia.
