On Wellness

Monday, August 8th, 2016

How do I contribute to the wellness of my community?

"The way I contribute to my community is trying to do my best to hold a positive attitude and greet others. I mentor because they are the upcoming generation. I try my best to intake knowledge and educate about things in my community."

"I contribute to the wellness of my community by bringing positive energy as an African American young lady. I bring my open mind and words and try to make the community a better place."

-       "By contributing 2 the wellness of my friends
o   Showing them free places for fresh fruit
o   Making healing work and spaces
o   Being open to conversations and teachings
-       By contributing 2 the wellness of myself
o   My presence on social media and other public spaces
o   Looking people in the eye when walking down the street"

"Start with small things I can do on my own o help people who need it, with as much support as I can. Contribute to programs and movements how I can, like raising funds or public awareness. In terms of groups like BLM, I can do my best to help without speaking over the people that it’s supposed to be about, i.e. being a “savior”. On the other hand, I can bring my voice to movements and groups where people like me may be under represented. I can create safe and happy spaces, step in to help other females facing street harassment, and dressing expressively and unconventionally to encourage others to do the same if they want."


"I use my talents and my combined passion for pleasure, black health, and art to service, employ, and build my people and community. I help to re-establish, support, and encourage structures of black self-reliance to create surpluses in our community mentally, spiritually, physically, and agriculturally."
