Black
Wellness Hub
A space for healing, culture, and community.
A welcoming, Black-led home dedicated to mental, physical, and communal well-being — and a home for Bay Area and Diasporic Black culture.
Healing has a home.
Rooted in Richmond, the hub will build on the spirit of connection already present in our rides, parks, and neighborhood programs.
The space is being shaped to honor Black historic legacy, creativity, and collective care while creating more opportunities for people to gather, learn, move, and heal together.
Wellness.
Culture.
Connection.
Plans for the Black Wellness Hub are evolving through community input. The vision includes:
Space held for the long term.
The hub is part of the larger Rich City Project, an effort to move community spaces out of the speculative market and into long-term shared community stewardship.
These spaces are intended to advance health, culture, opportunity, and self-determination for Richmond residents most affected by displacement, historic redlining, criminalization, and disinvestment.

This vision grows stronger with community participation. Richmond residents, culture bearers, healers, artists, families, young people, and local partners are invited to share ideas about the spaces, resources, and activities the Black Wellness Hub should offer.
