In April 2024, Meres-Sia produced the first public “Panther Cub” panel. It was an invigorating discussion and community conversation honoring the challenges, blessings, and healing of those who grew up in the Black Panther Party. Hosted by the Richmond Art Center in Richmond, California the goal was to do the following:

• Recognize and celebrate Richmond’s Black Panther history

• Share diverse experiences of those who grew up in the Black Panther Party

• Create a space for intergenerational conversations, communion and healing

This event was Richmond Art Center’s second highest attended event ever and we thank them for offering their space. We would like to give a special thank you to Kimberly Ross, program coordinator, who went above and beyond to ensure a successful event.

Year of the Panther Cub: We Were There Too! was made possible thanks to awards from California Arts Council, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Center for Cultural Power, and BE-IMAGINATIVE
