“Soul Food, Reimagined. Still Seasoned. Still Sacred.”

In this class, we take it back to our roots — then flip the script. Girls learn how to turn the comfort food they know and love into fresh, healthy meals using farm-to-table ingredients. We honor soul food traditions while teaching how to cook with intention, balance, and wellness in mind.

From collard greens to candied yams to mac & cheese traditional and dairy-free but still hits. We’re showing the next generation how to feed themselves with power, pride, and purpose.

What We Cover:
✅ Transforming traditional soul food into nutrient-rich dishes
✅ Cooking with fresh herbs, seasonal veggies & plant-based swaps
✅ Ancestral cooking knowledge passed down with a modern twist
✅ Budget-friendly meal planning
✅ Food as medicine and love

Why It Matters:

This is more than a cooking class, it’s where culture meets confidence. Girls walk away with skills to nourish themselves, care for their families, and carry on the legacy in a way that protects their health and honors their roots. 

💸 Sacred Space & Home Care

“Because where you live should feel like love — not stress.” 

In this workshop, we teach girls how to turn any space; bedroom, dorm, or shared corner, into a vibe. It’s not just about cleaning; it’s about claiming your space, setting the tone, and keeping your peace.

 We blend practical skills with emotional wellness: organizing with intention, cleaning as a form of self-respect, and creating spaces that feel safe, sacred, and fly.

What We Cover:
✅ Natural cleaning with herbs, oils, and low-tox products
✅ Daily and weekly cleaning routines made easy
✅ Setting up a space that reflects your energy and goals
✅ Mood-boosting scents, lighting, and affirmations
✅ Respecting your space as a form of self-love and self-worth

Why It Matters:
Your environment impacts your energy. When girls learn to care for their space, they start caring for themselves differently. This workshop builds pride, independence, and peaceful habits that follow them for life.

💸 Budgeting & Smart Spending in an Inflated World

“The prices went up, but so did our skills.”

In this hands-on workshop, we teach our girls (and their families) how to stretch a dollar without losing style or sanity. Inflation is real groceries, gas, even hair products are costing more. That’s why we’ve created a practical, real-life budgeting class built around today’s economy.

We walk them through how to budget like a boss, coupon like a queen, and survive this high-priced world without going broke.

Topics We Cover:
✅ Surviving inflation 101
✅ Couponing & deal-hunting hacks
✅ How to track spending and stick to a budget
✅ Wants vs. Needs: the remix
✅ Keeping home inventory to stop double-buying
✅ Smart shopping for food, beauty, and fun
✅ Planning ahead for holidays, birthdays, and surprises

Why It Matters:
Because teaching our girls how to manage money in today’s economy is deeper than dollars it’s about dignity, power, and peace of mind. Whether they’re buying lip gloss or groceries, they’ll learn how to make smart money moves that stretch beyond their age and into their future.

This is not your typical math class — it’s survival skills for a high-inflation era.

🩸 Cycle Care & Hygiene Education

“From first periods to real confidence — we teach what school skips.”

This is where our girls learn the real deal about their bodies, their cycles, and how to care for themselves with pride and power.

In this open, judgment-free session, we talk periods, products, hygiene, health, and self-worth — because every girl deserves to feel prepared, not embarrassed.

What We Cover:
✔ Understanding your menstrual cycle
✔ Period product breakdown (pads, tampons, cups, and more)
✔ Daily hygiene tips (what’s normal, what’s not)
✔ Dealing with cramps, emotions, and body changes
✔ Natural care options and cycle syncing
✔ How to talk to parents or doctors about your body
✔ Confidence + sisterhood in our changing bodies

Why It Matters:
Because too many of us learned the hard way. This isn’t just “that time of the month”  it’s a sacred rhythm. And when girls understand their bodies, they walk different. They grow up knowing their body isn’t something to be ashamed of — it’s something to be honored.

We bring the vibe of an auntie talk, big sister wisdom, and wellness coach all in one.

👑 Natural Haircare & Crown Confidence 

“Because our curls aren’t just cute — they’re powerful.”

This hands-on session celebrates the beauty, history, and strength of natural hair. We teach girls how to love, maintain, and style their crowns with confidence and care — no matter the texture.

What We Cover:
✔ Wash day basics & protective styles
✔ How to read product labels
✔ Daily hair routines & moisture care
✔ Scalp health and growth tips
✔ Creating DIY oils, masks & sprays
✔ The history of Black hair and why it matters
✔ Confidence in wearing your crown at school, work, or anywhere

Why It Matters:
Too often, our girls are told their hair is “too much” — too big, too different, too hard to manage. We shift that. Here, our hair is magic. We give the girls tools, language, and pride to walk with their heads held high — because how you wear your crown reflects how you see yourself.

It’s not just about hair — it’s about identity, creativity, and legacy.

👑✨ Etiquette & Hosting: The Lost Art of Moving with Power

“Etiquette isn’t about being meek, it’s about knowing how to move with power in any room.”

This workshop teaches our girls that etiquette isn't submission — it’s strategy. We cover the importance of how you speak to adults, people in authority, elders, individuals with special needs, foreigners, and people from different backgrounds or social classes. From job interviews to college tours, proper etiquette is a confidence-builder that helps you show up fully and be taken seriously.

What We Cover:
✔ Communicating respectfully with people of all ages and abilities
✔ Navigating authority with confidence, not fear
✔ Hosting and engaging with guests at events or in the community
✔ Learning to speak with grace in interviews, formal spaces, and unfamiliar settings
✔ Understanding how etiquette supports emotional intelligence, respect, and pride

Why It Matters:
In our community, etiquette is a lost art, but it’s one of the most powerful tools a young woman can have. It's not about dimming your light — it's about knowing how to shine in every room you walk into. When the world expects us to be loud, angry, or invisible, etiquette gives our girls the ability to move with confidence, humility, and purpose.
