“YOU ARE YOUR BEST THING:”

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH ACTIVATION

"You Are Your Best Thing:" Women’s History Month Workshop in partnership with YMCA and Jordan Brand.

The theme for Women’s History Month 2023 was celebrating women who tell our stories. In the same way that we honor so many women that have paved the way, it’s equally important to nurture and celebrate the stories we tell ourselves.

In her 1988 novel, Beloved, Toni Morrison wrote, "You are your best thing." As I prepared for this workshop, I was reminded of this quote and its simple yet profound nature. Through guided meditations, yoga exercises, intimate mentor-led conversations, and a zine-making workshop, 15 girls had the opportunity to learn and understand the importance of self-care, self-belief, and self-love. This workshop aimed to reinforce the idea that we are enough, exactly as we are, in every moment. 

We set out to inspire these young girls, but they are the true inspiration✨
