About This Event

The glow up starts within. HealHER brings BIPOC girls and young women together to talk openly about the things that shape how they see themselves from family expectations and changing friendships to relationships and beauty standards.

Through interactive workshops, guest speakers, and guided reflection, participants will explore their experiences, challenge the messages they’ve been told about themselves, and connect with others who understand. There’s space to share, listen, ask questions, or simply take a moment for yourself.

What to expect

  • Real conversations: Explore family, friendship, romance, and self-image in welcoming workshop spaces.
  • Confidence-building activities: Reflect on your self-worth through journaling, affirmations, and creative exercises.
  • Guest speakers: Hear personal stories about healing, growth, and finding your voice.
  • Lunch & connection: Share a meal, meet new people, and enjoy a break between sessions.
  • Wellness & creativity: Visit the all-day wellness space, contribute to the Glow-Up Gallery, and capture memories at the selfie stations.

Audience: BIPOC girls and young women ages 13+ who want to build confidence, explore their relationships, and connect with a supportive community.
