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.

Tonight will be our 5th year hosting an Estrogina in Boston. Estrogina is delicate to us for many reasons… One being that it’s the inception of SIDE!! 🥹🤭 Another is our passion to want to see Women winning.

We recognize the disparities of trying to grow holistically, creatively and professionally as Black and Latina Women who don’t like to be pigeon holed to societal norms of only exercising one strength, in this world. We don’t want that for us, or for anyone.

Since the conception of Estrogina, we’ve unraveled ways to help the growth of all the incredible Women who surround us. By creating a space for a collective of creatives, professionals, entrepreneurs and dreamers to meet and share their unique insights, ambitions, resources and talents with one another, Estrogina is dedicated to reminding women, emphasis on BIPOC Women, that there are no limits to our capabilities.

Thank you to our sponsors, vendors, small team, family and friends for making Estrogina 5 possible.

We look forward to being in a room full of giants tonight. Let’s celebrate with a purpose. We made it to E5!

See y’all in a few. ✌🏽✌🏾

02/27/2023

WE’RE ONLY A FEW DAYS AWAY FROM E5 AND WE CANT HOLD OUR EXCITEMENT!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭

It’s really going to be the most beautiful evening this Wednesday. The room will be filled with phenomenal Women that are gorgeous in and out!! We’re so blessed to be able to host this for US (yes that’s you included!!). 🫶🏾🫶🏽

Let’s make it count. See y’all there! ✌🏾✌🏽✨
