Join us this fall at the Black SEL Summit:

Black SEL Summit looks to reach, teach and build a system of strong black leaders that understand the importance of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and ways to expose and sustain SEL in black communities. Black SEL will highlight and elevate the educators and voices of African American people in the social-emotional field. We are looking to create healthy dialog around policy, critical race theory, and ways to expose social-emotional learning to surrounding communities and their key stakeholders.


Proceeds generated from ticket sales will help build the capacity for Dangers of the Mind's Education Fund. Please keep in mind the work that we do and how your contribution will help when purchasing tickets.

➡️Black SEL Summit: The current education system is dominated by political narratives that devalue the very people that our schools are supposed to serve. The Black SEL Summit is a space for us to highlight the voices of African-American people in the field and speak to best practices, research, and solutions to sustain SEL in Black Communities.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
