We took our 3-day weekends centering BIPOC mental health on the road! Our first stop:

Los Angeles

With this Mental Health + Art Road Trip, we highlighted melanin artists channeling therapeutic release with their art. And in celebration of The WoMi App’s 2nd year in app stores, we hosted not one, but TWO marketplaces to support BIPOC small businesses.
