I needed a minute to sit with this one. 🥹💚
This weekend reminded me that sometimes the most important thing we can do is slow down long enough to realize how far we’ve come.
Saturday, we moved for mental health. 💃🏾🖤
Dance Out the Darkness was about su***de prevention, community, and reminding ourselves that movement can be a powerful tool when life gets heavy.
A special shoutout to DJ Dbl W for keeping us on our feet 🎶🔥 and Lucy Lu for making sure we knew those dances the RIGHT way! 😂💃🏾
Then Sunday… The Audit. 🫖🌸
The warmth. The vulnerability. The love. The sisterhood. The permission to simply BE.
Shoutout to Unapologetically Woman and founder Tracey T. Cooper for creating an experience that reminded me what happens when women are given space to show up fully as themselves. 🤎
This weekend wasn’t easy. There were barriers. There were moments I questioned how I was going to get through it all.
But I’m learning that sometimes the barrier isn’t the end of the road.
Sometimes it’s the stepping stone.
And maybe I don’t need to rush so much to figure out what’s next.
Maybe I need to sit right here.
Reflect.
Receive.
Rest.
Grow.
📝 to Self: “Slow down, Char. You made it here. Now take a moment to actually be here.”🫶🏾
