Spending the amazing day uplifting the youth with all of these incredible ladies 😍😍 .jenee 🙌🏾🙌🏽

The Love Your Magic Conference is a one-day conference that centers the experiences of Black and Brown girls through self-care, self-love, self-advocacy, community/chosen kinship, and leadership. The Love Your Magic Conference creates an opportunity for Black and Brown girls to come together in a community built and designed with their needs in mind. In this intentionally created space, girls are able to hear and learn from others, explore the beauty and power of themselves and learn about the power of resistance through activities and programming rooted in self-advocacy, sisterhood, communal care, healing and joy.

See you soon! 💕💕

Good morning Facebook friends!

I have not been active on this platform but I am actively working to change that for 2024. I will be updating SIDE presents profile to keep you all informed on the changes and events we have going on. Our biggest venture so far is a Brick and Mortar project we’re partnering with DVM Housing Partners to build in one of their parcels which will be breaking ground Q1 this year. The dream is a dynamic artists coworking/event space and tonight we get to talk more to you about how we can best build this space out to benefit the community.

Please join our zoom conference tonight at 6pm, we need the support and the attention of all voices to really build this dream into reality. The session will be facilitated by our partners Co-Everything.

Thank you in advance if you can make it. If you can’t and would like to know more or be of support in another way feel free to message me so we can connect!

Please share. See you guys tonight. 🫶🏾
