#SpeakToHer Part III: Our Community

There are only a few months before March & I want to do more than meet up with you all for the retreat. I will continue to take pictures for #SpeakToHer and share my conversations with my friends about the wellness themes that I centered the retreat around (physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual and community/social). However, I also want to include more. Whether that’s a fitness challenge or supporting a local networking happy hour together, I want the people in the community I want to build, to do things with a common purpose and end goal in mind.

 

Even if you don't live in the same city I do, there will be ways to connect.

 

The Black Film Club that I started this summer blossomed from my desire to bond with my friends who no longer lived in my city. I missed them and their energy and I found a way to bring them together. I love my friends. I love watching movies of all genres.  It made sense to bring those 2 together. & like Tab said in our conversation on community, you have to come in being yourself, and you have to be honest about your intentions and goals. Finding your people takes time, but being forthright with who you are and what you want is the key to making sure that when you do find them, they're the right people for you.

My vision is to have a solid group of people who are empowered by each other's individual pursuits and support each other. Looking past that support, I would love to see my friends & sister-friends collaborate to make something even more impactful.

With 2020 fast approaching, what are some of your goals for the new year? How do they relate to your overall wellness? Do you have a support system set up to help push you through those goals?

I know that I have my own vision of what I need to do before the new year and I want you all to be a part of that.
