Sunday Service
Sunday Service 2025
On this sacred Sunday, February 23rd, Beyond the Black Box gathered in community to honor our ancestors, nourish our spirits, and call each other into deeper care and action. With free chicken and biscuits from Faye tha Foodie, a live community mural led by Yetunde Sapp, and a communal altar created and held by Queen Ravenden, the space became both sanctuary and celebration. The air filled with the voices of a gospel choir featuring Fatima Jamal, Kyle Kidd, and Omololu Tunde, and together we moved through ancestral breathwork led by Karine Plantadit, grounding us in the tools our ancestors left for us to build a freer future. Dominica Greene held space for an open forum, where we spoke truth and offered tangible ways to show up for each other in these challenging times. We closed the evening with a powerful performance by Cemiyon Barber and gave each attendee their literal and metaphorical flowers, generously donated by Greenpoint Florist. Sunday Service wasn’t just an event — it was a reminder of what’s possible when we gather, heal, create, and build together.
