This week, let's appreciate women empowerment and self-worth as we invite one of the more vocal, self-driven, and community-based organizations to The Safe Room, Flaunt It. Joining this conversation on the movement's accomplishments, core values/mandate, and expanding on the importance of establishing safe spaces for Black, Indigenous, POC women is Programs Manager Shenali Don and Creative Director (Events/Campaigns) Richelle Nelson. Flaunt It is a grassroots youth-led organization that fosters self-love and highly esteemed representation. We go over their work in the community and why this "sisterhood" continues to grow a platform/environment for artistic voices to be amplified by women. In addition, we'll also cover the contrast between men and women correlating to finding one's self-worth and prioritizing mental health. This conversation is a perfect mix of shared experiences and opinionated takes, combined with historical context towards the origins and use of self-care. We must support our community, especially those who put so much into creating avenues for marginalized populations such as Flaunt It is doing.
