Rooted in Wellness: A Celebration of Self-Care and Sisterhood

In March 2024, we launched a six-week virtual journey with a group of passionate young women through our iPowered Girls program. The sessions were designed to equip them with tools for leadership, self-awareness, and personal growth. To conclude this impactful series, we held an in-person mentorship and wellness event that brought everything full circle.

Wellness was the focus of our final session because it is essential for young women to understand that taking care of their mental, emotional, and physical well-being is a vital part of their journey. We wanted to create a space where they could pause, reflect, and celebrate themselves.

During the session, the girls got hands-on by creating their own body mists and lip glosses from scratch; an activity that sparked creativity and reinforced the importance of personal care. We engaged in heartfelt discussions about why wellness matters, how to prioritize it, and what it means to truly take care of oneself. There was time for personal reflection, connection, and thoughtful conversation.

Each girl also received a self-care package to encourage her to continue nurturing her well-being beyond the program. It was a joyful and meaningful way to wrap up our time together—rooted in care, sisterhood, and empowerment.
