Come join us on August 27th at 5:30pm, Howard University, Ira Aldridge Theater for a free movie screening & wellness event - FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH.

Mental health conditions are universal however the way the African American community has managed mental health is different. We want to normalize mental health conversations for future generations. Through an evening of wellness technique, a movie screening, and panel discussion, the “For What It's Worth Wellness Experience" serves as a platform for Howard University students at the beginning of the school year to connect with wellness and foster discussion around mental health.

For What It’s Worth is a BET Networks television movie created to promote mental health awareness. The movie follows a successful physician, Naomi Samuels who finds herself publicly humiliated and suddenly unemployed. Naomi reluctantly returns to her hometown in D.C. to reconnect with the foster care siblings she's neglected for years. Hopeful to regain control of her life, Naomi and her siblings face a challenge that takes them all over the edge.

For What It’s Worth stars Patrice Covington (Genius), Leslie Black (Chicago Med), Kevin Savage (Lovecraft Country), Jared Wofford (American Soul), and Pastor Mike, Jr.  For What It's Worth premieres on BET+, BET and BET Her in 2024.

This is a FREE event. RSVP is required
