We are so excited to finally launch our first session of our program: Wá Jẹun. We hope it's the beginning of many more.

The phrase "Wa Jeun" means “come and eat” in Yoruba.

It's an invitation for friends, family, and strangers to share a meal, reflecting a cultural practice of care, connection, and nourishment. As the African proverb says, “One who eats alone can not discuss the taste of the food with others.”

This in person workshop will include hands-on cooking demonstrations where participants learn to prepare culturally relevant African, Black, or Caribbean (ABC) meals using healthier ingredients and techniques without compromising taste or tradition.

Each workshop will feature an interactive session led by a health expert on related topics that disproportionately affect Black communities, such as stress, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

What a fun day at the inaugural Elevate Her: Healing Power and Rest women's symposium.

It was a great day to connect and meet others in the community, and sit down in a safe space to discuss many things that affect Black health and wellness.

We were honored to be part of the space to share our work, speak about an important topic, and be around many beautiful, amazing people.

This month, we are tackling a big topic. In a world that is busy where you always need to bring your "A game," how do you find time to rest? Burnout is real, and the expectations are high. Sometimes, it seems easier to tuck the stress away and deny it's happening.

Join our session as we take time to talk, learn, and listen to our body, mind, and soul.

Let connect with each other and give ourselves permission to slow down to celebrate and appreciate ourselves.

We think this is the perfect theme for Black History Month.

In a world that is constantly trying to define us, we are using our own lived experiences and voices to define who we are.

Join us as we create an identity shift and ask, "Who am I now?"

Today marks the first day of Black History Month. Here in Canada, we celebrate 30 years since the motion was introduced by Dr. Augustine. The motion passed unanimously in December 1995.

The 2026 national theme“ Honoring Black Brilliance Across Generations – From Nation Builders to Tomorrow's Visionaries," celebrates Black Excellence Past. Present and Future.

While Black history is every day, we encourage everyone to take the opportunity this month, to learn and reflect on the injustice Black individuals have and continue to face, but also to celebrate the amazing contributions they have and continue to make.

We are all connected as a community (nation). How we continue to be change makers and advocate for justice and equity starts with these simple steps.

Black History Month has important deep significant roots.

Let's celebrate!

We are so excited to continue collaborating with the amazing Pam who has been offering free massage therapy services to our adult and baby community.

Our new dates are up and posted on our website.

Start the new year right!

The start of the New Year has been busy, but we have been working hard to plan new (and improve old) things for 2026. Day by day, one step at a time, we continue to grow. We are excited and looking forward to all the things to come.

Happy New Year, everyone!

From our family to yours. Happy holiday!
