We Fundraised $3,045 for BEAM!!!
Hi Family-
Tonight my heart is so full, and I am overwhelmed with appreciation to announce this news!
For those of you who don’t know, this past Thursday, June 4th, we sponsored a Tone House class to raise funds for BEAM.
BEAM stands for Black Emotional and Mental Health Collective.
BEAM’s Vision:
BEAM envisions a world where there are no barriers to Black Healing.
BEAM’s Mission:
BEAM’s mission is to remove the barriers that Black people experience getting access to or staying connected with emotional health care and healing. We do this through healing justice based organizing, education, training, grant making and advocacy.
Collectively, we fundraised $3,045!!!!
Below is a list of everyone who donated. What astounds me is that more than half of the individuals who donated did not even take the class, yet wanted to help make a difference— and for that, I am beyond grateful.

The consideration and heart we have in this community are what inspire me to keep going every single day.
In case you missed it, I had said before our workout- needless to say, there is a lot going on, and we are going through a lot of pain. The world needs reform and healing. But always remember that a society is made up of homes and homes are made up of individuals. We must not stop taking care of ourselves in times of chaos, because when we ensure self-love and self-care are met, we are in the best position to care of those around us, and make the world a better place, as well,.
My friends, keep up your own self-care and health routines during this time, so we remain a healthy group, and can continue to impact the world around us. <3
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you are going through a difficult time and need any extra assistance or resources.
