At MMP, we believe all children should have the mentoring relationships they need to become thriving adults, resulting in vibrant communities. JoyFest has three goals:
-
For Black and brown girls’ & femmes’ access to the tools & resources to increase their self-worth
-
For Black and brown women and girls’ & femmes’ to find and build community with each other, fostering mentoring relationships
-
For Black and brown women and girls’ & femmes’ to celebrate joy
To achieve these goals, wellness stations will lead these women and girls through exciting activities that align with the following themes:
-
-
Loving being Black and brown
-
Being joyful and playful
-
Exploring intersectionality
-
Setting and achieving goals
-
Cultivating self-expression
-
Connecting with family, friends, supporters, and mentors
-
Practicing self-care and wellness
-
Being aware of mental health
-
This event is a great match activity event for BIPOC women, girls, and femmes!! For more information on MMP’s Mentoring Black and brown Girls & Femmes Movement, please see our information page here.
