Tea for the Soul
The Coalition for Black Health and Wellness (CBHW) will host Tea for the Soul: An African American Tea Party to uplift and encourage Black women in the Harambee spirit.
Tea for the Soul was created to help Black women identify their untapped gifts and positive attributes. In addition to assisting them to overcome any mental health challenges they might be experiencing, Tea for the Soul will allow women to unwind and express themselves in a safe space.
