NEW YORK - Aug. 19, 2025 - PRLog -- Beyond The Call 24 7 Inc., a nonprofit organization whose focus is on supporting the populations of the Caribbean Diaspora, will host an event scheduled for Friday, September 12, 2025, from 5:30 - 8:30 PM at the One Vanderbilt building (1 Vanderbilt Ave, 21st floor, in New York City). This gathering will feature creatives from the worlds of art, music, film, as well as wellness professionals.
The art and works of Hollis King, Sherwin Banfield and Alicia Aberdeen-Jones, will be on display. Film makers Asha Lovelace and Elspeth Duncan will spotlight the healing aspect. Steel drummer pannist Earl Brooks, Jr. and Grammy winning singer/songwriter Anslem Douglas add to the theme of the event.
Featured speakers include Consulate General of Trinidad and Tobago J. Andre Laveau, Dr. Tulsa Knox, licensed psychologist/mental health practitioner, Edvardo Archer, Executive Therapist and family therapist, along with Dr. Farley Cleghorn, internationally known health diplomat and award winning epidemiologist.
Beyond The Call 24 7, in partnership with "The Hard Issues" segment of the On The Call Podcast Network Experience, is focused on uplifting the community, while realizing that people need community and safe space. "This is our call to action, through Beyond The Call 24 7," says the organization's founder Ozzie Stewart. Through this community-minded organization, the nonprofit speaks to the world at large, as well as the present focus on the Trinidadian populations living outside of their homeland.
With premier sponsorship from TD Bank, FWBK and other community support, Ms. Stewart hopes to create a space wrapped around the power of the Caribbean community, while making room for engagement on the very difficult global conversations of abuse (whether domestic or sexual).
"It was really important to bring male voices into these conversations because so often the talks happen with only women," Stewart states. "We knew that we needed to expand the audience and the interaction." The event's objective is to raise funds for grass roots organizations and their multi-tiered and multifaceted endeavors.
Beyond the Call 24 7 is the advocacy arm of a four-tiered mission that includes the podcast, dealing with everything from homelessness to trafficking, addiction, substance use and abuse, animal welfare and climate change. This, along with the Trini Corner, which is direct community outreach and donating to the troopers doing the hard work on the streets.
