A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support the “Can We Talk” Youth Symposium & Joy Salons in PG County! 💚✨ Together, we created a powerful space for students to feel safe, supported, and seen. In partnership with District 8 Council Member @edburroughsiii , we brought this transformative day to life — centered on youth wellness, creativity, and community healing. One of the many highlights was the heartfelt and insightful fireside chat featuring @kingjaybarnett , @michaelraineyjr, and our founder @tarajiphenson , where they explored real, healing conversations around mental health, identity, and empowerment for our youth. From Hip Hop Therapy and Ink & Inspiration to rap sessions, fitness, drumming, and art, the day was full of meaningful, culturally rooted ways for students to express themselves, connect, and heal. It was more than just an event — it was a celebration of youth resilience, creativity, and power. 🎤📝🖤 Special thanks to Principal Ronald Miller and the entire Oxon Hill High School community for hosting us and supporting this important work. MAJOR shout out to the artists, healers, and practitioners who led these amazing sessions. Can’t wait to bring more healing-centered activations to our youth! #CanWeTalk #YouthMentalHealthMatters #HealingInCommunity #BLHF #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #PGCountyYouth #HumanCentricHealing #JoyIsHealing #JoyisOurBirthright (fb)

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and we’ve kicked it off in a BIG way! 💚 We launched our 4th SheCare Wellness Pod at @coppinstateuniversity, in partnership with @katespadeny! This is our first indoor wellness pod and it is truly amazing! What an honor to continue this work together with intention, care, and community healing at the center. 💜✨ From self-care practices like grounding yoga and sound healing, to individual and group therapy, nestled in beautifully curated healing spaces for rest and rejuvenation, we’ve created a sanctuary that is accessible to students and community, — a space where students can breathe, reset, and be cared for in traditional and nontraditional ways. 💆🏾‍♀️🧘🏾‍♀️ We look forward to celebrating the wellness journey of every woman who enters and leaves the pods with a sense of agency, belonging, and, and empowerment.❤️ ✨Special thanks to Baltimore’s own: Mosher Construction: Kariem Lovett Jalen Jordan Consulting Interior Designer: Neshera Jarrett Artwork (slide 19) by: Candace Cruise Muralist (Coppin State Student): Veronica Ishii Shoutout to the entire BLHF TEAM!!
