February usually focuses on romantic love, but we’re celebrating the most important relationship you’ll ever have, the one with yourself. A love letter to me is a virtual wellness gathering created for Black women to honor self-love, soften, and reconnect with themselves. This workshop invites you to release the pressure to be strong, give yourself grace, and love yourself on purpose. ❤

✨Black History Spotlight✨

Dr. Cheryl Grills centers healing as a collective practice rooted in history, culture, and community wisdom. Her work emphasizes healing justice and reminds us that addressing trauma requires understanding both individual experiences and shared historical harm.

This approach aligns with broader conversations in Black mental health that name history while also affirming pathways to healing and restoration.

✨Black History Spotlight✨

Dr. Mamie Phipps Clark reminds us that how we see ourselves and how we are seen both matter. Her research challenged harmful narratives about Black identity and laid groundwork for understanding the emotional impact of racism on Black children and families.

Her work continues to inform conversations about mental health, belonging, and the importance of affirming environments for Black well being.💫
