But isn't it? The veil has been lifted on a lot of different issues in the world from racism to health and counting. A lot of us have been working from home or just quarantined in our homes and finally we have the time to relax from our busy schedules and focus on ourselves.
After all that's happened we created the perfect way to not only share what HERoines is all about but to empower a community that has dealt with a lot over the years but only felt heard over the past few months with #SelfCareSaturdays.
Join us for days of killer workshops, networking, and healing for a great cause. We’ve carefully crafted an incredible lineup of instructors and experts who are prepared to arm you with new self care and healing strategies so that you are your best self during and beyond this pandemic. We will be donating ALL proceeds to different organizations that are healing the black community addressing mental health, education, keeping the youth out of court system, and more. To learn more about each of the organizations look below.
