Are you ready to live a #ToxicFree2019?
Our words have power. And removing toxic communication is at the core of being able to love fully. Kristian and Christine will be in conversation with Alex Elle who will provide healthy ways to remove toxic communication from our daily conversations--both those we have with others and ourselves. Alex will also discuss the importance of our words and thoughts, and teach how to harness the power in what we tell ourselves and what we tell others. Registration Open!
The statistics are staggering--Black women are three to four times more likely to die from childbirth than non-Hispanic white women, and socioeconomic status, education, and other factors do not protect against this disparity. Kristian and Christine will be in conversation with Ebony Marcelle, Director of Midwifery at Community of Hope, to engage in rethinking birthing options for Black mothers. Ebony will give insight barriers to quality, equitable healthcare, logistics of receiving maternal care, and the emotional and psychological effects of inequitable prenatal care. She will also provide resources for expectant mothers and mothers who had toxic births. Register Now!
Self-care is an important aspect of taking care of yourself. But could there be hidden dangers in the products that you're using? Kristian will be in conversation with Dr. Isfahan Chambers-Harris, Founder of Alodia Hair Care and Abir Ibrahim, Founder of Inua to discuss the importance of utilizing natural products, and the impact that product creation has on the environment and communities. Registration opens on May 2.
