We accomplish this mission by partnering with experts in various professional fields and facilitating community programs focused on identity, self-care and entrepreneurship.
Our goal is to foster creativity and build confidence while addressing issues such as mental health, healthy relationships, leadership, and identity.
Braid & Beauty Workshops
Elevate your skills and gain the confidence you need to master various aspects of beauty and self-care with our Braid and Beauty Workshops. Our hands-on sessions not only teach you techniques in hair braiding, hair styling, nail care, nail design, skin care, and makeup application but also create a space for connection and self-expression. Join us as we delve into the art of transforming hair, nails, and skin into stunning works of art, fostering creativity and empowerment every step of the way.
Personal Hair Care Kit Giveaways
Embrace Your Natural Beauty. We partner with leading natural hair care brands to provide you with nourishing products that celebrate your unique hair journey. Join us at community events throughout the year to receive high-quality hair care essentials, because every strand tells a story, and your story deserves to shine.
Who Am I
Unlock self-discovery, leadership skills, and personal growth. Through our engaging workshops we help girls and young women ages 10-17 embrace their uniqueness, define their purpose, and ignite their inner potential.
