Early into the month, Ye determined that February would be acknowledged as Black Future Month. As expected of the world renowned multi-hyphenate, he took that statement even further by having an event showcasing that purpose.
The Sunday Service events have been ongoing for years now.

This particular Sunday Service was held as a brunch for Black media, culture cultivators, artists, and those who are in support of Black progress.
