SELF CARE SUNDAY & WELLNESS WEDNESDAY

In the words of Audre Lorde, “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Black Girls Texting upholds the value of self care and staying well via our Self Care Sunday and Wellness Wednesday Series on IGTV, Youtube and digital events. We partner exclusively with women-owned wellness brands in these efforts.

Stemming from our Self Care Sunday series, Wellness Wednesday was a series on IGTV in collaboration with Outdoor Voices. Every Wednesday for a month, BGT held conversations with WOC in the wellness space to discuss a variety of practices for staying well including using herbal blends to ease anxiety, meditation and juicing.

Catch up on the series on our Youtube page!

Our Self Care Sunday series highlights the importance of mental health and holistic wellness. The video series features highlights our favorite products within skin care, hair care, nutrition and exercise. We perform our self care routines while discussing a relevant topic in society, from race relations to best practices for being civically engaged. The goal is to demonstrate that unpacking complicated issues through conversation is a form of self care, too. Past Self Care Sunday partners have included Briogeo, Glossier, High Beauty and Bolden Skin.
