Dear <<First Name>>,
Hey Sis! How are you doing? How are you feeling? I hope you are taking really, really good care of yourself right now as you navigate life as we currently know it. If you are new to the community, welcome! Glad you are here with us!
Even though we are social distancing and staying at home ( the state of TX opened, but I am staying my behind in the house until further notice!), that doesn't mean that you have to keep hiding your talent, your gifts, your passion, and your creativity. During this time, give yourself space to be what you want. Make space to explore what you want. Allow space to imagine whatever you want.
Right now, you have what you need. Right now you have so much. Right now. Not tomorrow or when you clean your house or when you get that job. Right now. That is all we have, and its perfect.
As I write this, I am also encouraging myself. I will admit that sometimes I second guess myself especially when it comes to the work I do with Unbothered Black Girl Collective. Feeling like I don't have enough of this or of that. But that is all noise. Right now, I am committed to stop hiding, too. Cause if I am not walking my talk, then what am I really doing?
Soooo... I have decided that every month, I am going to host a monthly Unbothered Black Girl Collective virtual retreat. The UBGC retreats will be focused on creating a space for self-care, creativity, and your unbothered-ness. Black women deserve the utmost care. Period. Each month will be different, but you will leave feeling inspired and unbothered. The first retreat is happening on May 23 at 10:30am CT. This idea is really new, so I don't have a fancy page or anything..and I am not allowing myself the chance to try to fall into the perfection trap.
If you want to join me, then simply hit reply or email kandice@kandicecole.com. Then, be on the lookout for an email from me with more info. That's it. Simple.
What are you doing to do for yourself? How will you make space for yourself?
Keep taking up space. Keep living your joy.
Love,
Kandice
