Welcome to Day Four of the "12 Days of Wellness" campaign!
In honor of California Black Women’s Health Project’s 30th anniversary, today we're reminding you, through this empowering campaign, to: "Know your limits; set healthy boundaries." Sometimes we can struggle to set boundaries with ourselves and others that can keep us feeling burdened and overwhelmed. This can show up in many areas of our lives, including our finances. We encourage you to explore today's resources to help set and maintain healthy boundaries!
Today's Activities:
1. Join us today, December 4th, for a workshop with hosting in partnership with Ed. Opal!
Join us today, December 4th, for a transformative virtual workshop that brings the fourth commandment of mental health—"Know Your Limits; Set Healthy Boundaries"—to life. In partnership with Ed. Opal, a trailblazing organization founded by Khayla McCoy to close gender and racial wealth gaps, this session centers on culturally relevant personal finance education tailored specifically for Black women.
