Alicia Stevens, BA Self-Care & Relationship Associate   As humans, it’s our nature to be social and when social media was born it gave people a whole new way of connecting. These different platforms provide ways for people to network and grow their businesses, meet new people, receive inspiration, have a good laugh, stay connected with friends and family as well as express themselves, their interests and the list goes on. But I fought the requests for me to join social media for so long because I didn’t see the point of it. I didn’t have a business to promote and if I wan ..read more

Laqwanda Roberts-Buckley, MSSW Executive Director ​There has been a long list of things that I have faced head on in life.

There is something about waking up in the middle of the night with the feeling of someone’s foot on your chest that never goes away. It’s th ..read more

Taj Watkins-Scott, BS Physical Health & Wellness Associate I’m pretty sure all of you reading this are aware that people, places and things give off certain vibes and I’m sure many of you can feel these vibes, whether good or bad, even if you can’t explain it.​ Vibes is just an abbreviation of the word vibration and in this context that I’m using this, it is related to energy, so I thought it would make sense to provide a definition of both words before moving along with this blog: Vibration – A person’s emotional state, the atmosphere of a place, or the associations of an o ..read more

Alicia Stevens, BA ​Self-Care & Relationship Associate Who cut off game stronger than a Virgo, I'll wait. ​As a joke, a friend sent me the above meme. It’s been said that us Virgos are “quick to cut people off,” but nothing could be further from the truth. However, I have gotten to the point that if a person’s behavior warrants them to be removed from my life, I am no longer hesitant to do it. Often we can become conditioned to keep unhealthy people around due to a false sense of loyalty, fear of being alone, comfort etc. This way of thinking can be toxic and keep y ..read more
