State of Black California: New Data Shows Black Californians Falling Behind as Leaders Convene at UCLA to Confront Crisis

UCLA Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studes

New data showing rising unemployment and widening economic gaps for Black Califor- nians framed a statewide conference at UCLA, where more than 200 advocates, policymak- ers, elected officials, scholars, entertainers and community leaders gathered to examine the conditions facing Black Californians and to THE of BLACK CALIFORNIA push solutions for a thriving Black California. Hosted by the UCLA Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies in partnership with the California Legislative Black Caucus (CLBC), the "State of Black California" con- ference focused on collecting and confronting data on the condition of Black Californians

By Joe W. Bowers Jr. | California Black Media and connecting it to community experience, policy and political power.

Dr. Michael Stoll, UCLA professor and fac- ulty director of the Black Policy Project, re- ported that Black unemployment rose from 5.6% to 7.5%, adding roughly 25,000 unem- ployed workers - the largest increase among racial groups.

The rise was most pronounced among Black women, including those with college degrees a pattern that highlights why the issue is particularly urgent, as the California Black Women's Collective Empowerment Institute (CABWCEI) reports that Black women are the primary earners in about 80% of Black households statewide.

The data also showed rising involuntary part-time work and a growing number of indi- viduals disconnected from both employment and education. Stoll pointed to the erosion of public sector jobs — long a pathway to stable, middle-class employment as a key factor reshaping opportunity.

The conference opened with community leaders who connected those findings to lived experience.

Actor Xavier Beloved New Role as George Heitman in HBO's Hit Comedy Series 'Rooster'

LOS ANGELES, CA---- HBO's new original comedy series Roost- er premieres Sundays at 10/9c on HBO and streams on HBO Max. The 10-episode series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and led by co-showrunners and ex- ecutive producers Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses, with Steve Carell headlining the cast while also tak- ing on an executive producer role. Set on a college campus, Rooster follows successful author Greg Russo (Carell), who accepts a writer-in-residence position at Ludlow College at the invitation of its president. The university also employs his daughter, Katie (Charly Clive), a professor navi- gating a separation from her hus- band, Archie (Phil Dunster), after he leaves her for a graduate stu- dent, Sunny (Lauren Tsai).

Xavier Beloved plays George Heitman, an athlete at Ludlow College who, despite his impos- ing physical presence, is a gentle giant whose kindness defines him. Beloved describes his experience working on the comedy series led by Bill Lawrence as a dream come true. Having grown up watching Scrubs and Clone High, he was a fan long before he ever con- sidered a career in the industry. That admiration deepened during the COVID era, when Ted Lasso resonated with him on a more per- sonal level and sparked a greater appreciation for Lawrence's sto- rytelling.

Coming onto Rooster, Beloved describes the experience as both surreal and creatively informa- tive. The role challenged him to embrace vulnerable and explore emotional depth in ways he hadn't before, making the project espe- cially meaningful.

Working alongside Steve Carell, he says, only elevated the experience.

"I don't think enough people talk about how his aura fills a room— it's so warm and welcoming that you almost forget to be nervous," Beloved says. "For many of us up-and-coming actors playing students on the show, this is our nitely moments where I thought, 'Wow... I'm really doing scenes with a comedy legend right now. He adds that Carell brings a rare balance of presence and generos- ity to every scene. "He really lis- tens, reacts in the moment, and stays present, which makes it so much easier to find a natural rhythm with him."

That sense of humility extended off-camera as well. Early in pro- duction, Beloved recalls address- ing him as “Mr. Carell” out of re- spect-until the actor quickly put him at ease.

"He pulled me aside and said, ‘Hey, we're equals―you can just call me Steve," Beloved says. “That meant a lot to me as a new actor. It created this sense of com- fort, like I wasn't being judged by my résumé, just by the work we were doing together."

According to Beloved, by watch- ing the show, audiences can expect a thoughtful balance of humor and heart. "At its core, it's about au- thentic relationships and those ev- eryday relatable moments people actually go through" he says.

Beneath its comedic surface, the biggest takeaway from the show is that it's never too late to rein- vent yourself. It's never too late to find community, pursue new am- bitions, or start over—an idea that runs counter to the pressures often embedded in modern culture.

"American pop culture has a way of conditioning us to feel like once you hit a certain age, that's it—you've got to have everything figured out," Beloved explains. "That's why people will relate to Greg Russo. Yeah, he's success- ful, but he's also human. He's coming out of a breakup and kind of hiding from the world, like a lot of us do at times.”

Rather than simply telling a sto- ry about rediscovery, Rooster fo- cuses on what it takes to break out of emotional isolation and allow yourself to grow.

The ensemble cast includes Steve Carell, Charly Clive, Danielle Deadwyler, Phil Dunster, John C. McGinley, Lauren Tsai, and Con- nie Britton.

YOUTH ACTION PROJECT

SAN BERNARDINO, CA - Youth Action Project (YAP), a nonprofit organization dedi- cated to empowering youth and young adults across the Inland Empire, has been selected to receive a $4,000 charitable contribution from The Bellamy Group, a national consulting firm committed to supporting community-centered initiatives.

The contribution is part of The Bellamy Group's broader effort to invest in organiza- tions creating measurable impact in under-

In San Bernardino County, Black babies are almost three times more likely to die before their first birthday than white babies. From 2018 to 2023, the number of babies born too early went up by more than 10%. Black mothers also have a higher chance of feeling sad or depressed during pregnancy, which can affect both mom and baby.

served communities nationwide. Youth Action Project was selected for its proven track record in youth mentorship, workforce development, and entrepreneurship programming.

“This support comes at a critical time and reinforces that the work we do is creating real impact beyond our region,” said a representa- tive of Youth Action Project. "We're grateful to The Bellamy Group for investing in the po- tential of the young people we serve and help- ing us expand access to opportunity."

But there is hope-and people are taking action. That's where FIMR, the Fetal Infant Mortality Review, comes in.

FIMR is a local group of doctors, nurses, community leaders, and neighbors. They work together to learn why some babies die and how to stop it from happening. They look at real cases (mom's and baby's information is kept private) and share ideas to help make care better for families.

Founded in 1998, Youth Action Project has served as a key resource for young people across San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Through programs focused on academic sup- port, job readiness, and entrepreneurship, YAP helps participants build skills, secure employ- ment, and pursue long-term career pathways. Key initiatives include:

Young Workers Youth Forward Pro- gram, which provides paid work experience, career coaching, and supportive services

YLinc Business & Beyond Program

(YBBP), which equips youth with entrepre- neurial skills to launch and grow their own businesses

The Bellamy Group will formally present the contribution during a special visit to YAP's Community Action Partnership of San Ber- nardino County (CAPSBC) site in San Ber- nardino on Tuesday, bringing together staff, partners, and community stakeholders to cel- ebrate the investment and highlight program impact. This partnership highlights the impor- tance of cross-regional collaboration in ex- panding equitable opportunities for youth and strengthening communities at the local level.

Together, we can build healthy beginnings for Black families.

"Little Me, Big Responsibility" Initiative Promotes Early Healthy Habits For Young Children with fruit, adding vegetables to familiar meals, or choosing healthy fats like Greek yogurt and nuts are easy habits that can make a meaning- ful difference in a child's diet.

Many families also qualify for programs that make healthy food accessible. Parents can check WIC eligibility requirements or view a list of certified San Bernardino County farm- ers markets.

The expanded “Little Me, Big Responsibil- ity” campaign also continues to highlight the important connection between nutrition and other health concerns. According to the Center for Oral Health and Smile SBC, 63 percent of San Bernardino County kindergarteners have experienced tooth decay, the most common chronic childhood disease. Experts recom- mend beginning oral care early and schedul- ing a child's first dental visit by age 1. Visit

SmileSBC.org to find a dentist near you.

Families can also track developmental mile- stones and access early screening tools at HelpMeGrowIE.org.

Previously known as “Little Teeth, Big Re- sponsibility," the initiative originally focused on pediatric oral health, but it was expanded this year to address broader health habits for kids ages 0 to 5. The campaign is reaching families through social media, advertisements, traditional news media and public service announcements.

"Healthy habits should start in the earliest years of life," said First 5 San Bernardino Interim Executive Director Cindy Faulkner. "Better food choices, oral health and regular well-child visits – these are all fundamental to a child's healthy growth and development. Through this expanded initiative, we are mak-

Riverside Schools Become Statewide Model for Connecting Students with CalKIDS Scholarships

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — The Riverside County Office of Education (RCOE) is emerg- ing as a statewide model for helping families access CalKIDS Scholarships by combining financial literacy education with coordinated outreach across school communities that con- nects students with scholarships worth up to $1,500 for higher education.

The CalKIDS Program represents a $2.2 billion state investment in children's futures, providing scholarships for college and career training. The program is administered by the ScholarShare Investment Board and chaired by State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA.

Under RCOE's leadership, educators are conducting targeted outreach, embedding fi- nancial literacy and CalKIDS into everyday school engagement to increase awareness and drive scholarship claims. This approach has led to five schools in Riverside County achiev- ing a 100% CalKIDS Scholarship claim rate, including Lasselle Elementary, West Riverside Elementary, Myra Lynn Elementary, Good Hope Elementary, and San Jacinto Leadership Academy.

In Riverside County, more than $178 mil- lion in CalKIDS Scholarships have been des- ignated for more than 340,000 public school students. So far, approximately 34% of students have claimed their scholarships, includ- ing more than 54% of students in grades 9–12, unlocking more than $60 million to support future college or career training.

County Holds Ceremonial Groundbreaking for Regional Navigation Center

SAN BERNARDINO, CA--- San Bernardino County supervisors and leaders from the cities of Chino, Fontana, Montclair, Ontario, Ran- cho Cucamonga, Rialto and Upland, as well as state and federal representatives, gathered on Monday, April 6, to celebrate the ground- breaking of the West End Regional Navigation Center.

The navigation center will operate as a low- barrier shelter that will provide 100 shelter beds and 100 recuperative care beds. Residents will also have access to behavioral health ser- vices, medical care, case management, trans- portation assistance and housing placement. At the groundbreaking ceremony, speakers emphasized the importance of collaboration across local, state and federal levels. Rep- resentatives Pete Aguilar and Norma Torres echoed this message by highlighting the criti- cal role of federal partnerships in addressing homelessness.

"No single county or city can address this challenge alone," said Board of Supervisors Chairman and Third District Supervisor Dawn Rowe. "Meaningful progress will require co- ordinated regional efforts and a shared com- mitment to addressing homelessness."

Vice Chair and Fifth District Supervisor Joe Baca, Jr. described the project as a major mile- stone that took years in the making. “This rep- resents a meaningful victory for the county, our partner cities and the residents who seek an improved quality of life,” said Baca. “Collab- orative efforts like those demonstrated through the navigation center are key to creating mean- ingful and lasting progress."

Second District Supervisor Jesse Armendarez highlighted the broader meaning of the proj-

"This groundbreaking is not just about a build- ing; it's about expanding opportunities for our community,” said Armendarez. “It stands as a strong example of how local governance should operate, with collaboration and shared commitment driving long-term success." Fourth District Supervisor Curt Hagman pointed to the extensive planning behind the project. “In developing this model, we collab- orated closely with our city, state and federal partners while examining best practices from across the country,” said Hagman. "This coor- dinated service-driven approach will help us meet individual needs and achieve better out- comes."

Fontana Mayor Acquanetta Warren focused on long-term solutions. "When we align our efforts and work with purpose, we can create pathways to stability and truly change lives," said Warren.

"This partnership reflects our commitment to building a coordinated system that moves be- yond short-term responses and creates lasting pathways to housing, stability and dignity."

Federal representatives highlighted the im- portance of strong partnerships. Aguilar said addressing homelessness requires cooperation across local, state and federal levels and added that success also depends on adequate funding and coordinated planning. Torres noted that people may not know when they will need a facility like this and emphasized that the center will provide crucial support to help individu- als and families recover and rebuild their lives. The event concluded with a ceremonial sign- ing that formalized the commitment between the county and its partner cities to fund and support the West End Regional Navigation Center. Leaders expressed optimism that the center will serve as a model for regional col- laboration in addressing homelessness.
