2023 Schedule of Events:

The purpose of this wellness session is to give students the opportunity to be free to express themselves without shame or limitations. Our session allows students to use art and creativity to express themselves and create conversation.

The activities will include an interactive Black Wellness Day Wall, collage station, writing (e.g., poetry, lyrics) and music in the background. Our goal is to bring people together and give them inspiration for ways to connect in meaningful ways.

Presented by: Tonneika Buchanan, MA, LMHC; Trinity Thomas, LMHC; Wanda Latta; and Emi Lenes, PHD
