Relive the Moments
Labor & Legacy in Houston
A Black History Month Kick-Off
Our inaugural Labor & Legacy in Houston Gala wasn’t just an event—it was a homecoming. A reunion of hearts. A moment where stories, community, and celebration came together under one roof. The evening brimmed with gratitude as we honored Black Houstonians whose commitment and dedication to our city are building long lasting legacies and continue to inspire its future.
This night was a celebration of connection and belonging. Guests didn’t just attend—they felt it. They connected deeply and left with a renewed sense of purpose and hope.

Upcoming events.
At The ALLICE Collective, our events are all about coming together and supporting each other’s mental well-being. We create warm, welcoming spaces where people can connect, share their stories, and find strength in community. We know that having a solid support system makes all the difference—when we feel connected, we’re better able to handle life’s ups and downs, reduce stress, and thrive.

1st Saturday: Healing Together

Having strong social bonds increases the likelihood of survival by 50% more than those with fewer social connections. (CDC, March 2023)

COMMUNITY & MENTAL HEALTH
Community is vital for mental health. It provides the support and understanding we need, making us feel connected and empowered. With people who relate to our experiences and resources that fit our needs, we can tackle challenges together and support one another.
“The ALLICE Collective has facilitated an excellent space within the Breakfast & Brotherhood meetings for Black men from various backgrounds come together in community and discuss our various and collective struggles. I’ve met some amazing people while having incredible conversations along the way. 5 outta 5 all the way!!”

“Learned about the women’s group, hosted by Dr. Allison, through an acquaintance and I’m very happy to have given the service a try. It’s relaxing to be able to come together amongst a group of women of varying ages and lifestyles and just exist, have meaningful conversations about sisterhood and connections, and still have the respect factor and peace.”
“Highly recommend! Absolute Godsend! Very knowledgable and thorough! I am a current grad intern and while working with Dr. Bates, I have learned more about counseling than what was taught in school. She challenges you, teaches you and is always willing to help. I encourage all interns to apply to work with her!!”
