Families, caregivers, residents, and experts from across South Florida are invited to Brain Health is Wealth – Part 2: “LOVE YOUR BRAIN – Let’s Talk Brain Health,” presented in collaboration with the Overtown Children &amp; Youth Coalition (OCYC) on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Historic St. Agnes Presbyterian Church, 1750 NW 3rd Avenue, Miami, FL 33136. Centered on the message “Remember Together,” the free event is open to all and will explore brain health, memory, healthy aging, and caregiving through practical information and community-driven conversations. Registration link below:&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/brain-health-is-wealth-part-2-tickets-2004248224392?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Eventbrite</a>
November marks National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month, shining a spotlight on people living with Alzheimer’s disease and the families and caregivers who support them. As the holidays approach and families prepare to gather, the month offers a timely opportunity to start meaningful conversations about memory concerns, evolving care needs, and how to share caregiving responsibilities.
Keynote speaker Dr. LaToya Lewis, a nationally recognized nurse scientist, brain health equity advocate, and founder of SANOYA, will join community experts for a program that reimagines the traditional health fair. Participants will help shape the discussion by bringing their questions directly to the experts.
“Brain health is wealth, and caregivers deserve the same care, resources, and attention they provide to others every day,” said Anthony Robinson, Executive Director of OCYC. “We cannot simply ask caregivers to keep being strong. We must step in with meaningful support, including access to resources, respite, and information.”
Dr. Lewis will open the event with the keynote, “Remember Together: Our Brain Health. Our Families. Our Future.” She will then join other experts for “The Community Has the Mic,” an interactive conversation featuring questions from residents, caregivers, families, and online participants.
“Caregiving is love in its most demanding form,” said Lewis. “It means showing up, again and again, while carrying a weight the world may never see. Caregivers need support, resources, rest, and a community that understands the burden they carry.”
The program will also feature practical brain health information, caregiver resources, and the Overtown Brain Health Walk. Participants will receive a Brain Health Journey Passport to help them connect with health and wellness resources, community organizations, local businesses, and support services. The goal is for every participant to leave with three clear next steps.
Following the event, OCYC will share “What Overtown Told Us,” highlighting residents’ perspectives, lessons learned, and next steps to guide ongoing community support.
Come with your questions. Leave with answers, resources, and a plan.
