The shea project
We are a dynamic community-based organization dedicated to transforming beauty salons into hubs of health education and empowerment for the Black community. Our mission is to provide accessible and culturally relevant health education with a focus on reproductive, dermatologic, and mental health.
HOW DO WE DO IT?
HOW DO WE DO IT?
Through our unique partnerships with local healthcare professionals, we bring expert knowledge and resources directly to these vibrant spaces. Our trained educators work closely with salon owners and stylists to seamlessly integrate health education into the salon experience, ensuring that every visit is an opportunity for personal growth and well-being.
We aim to break down barriers to healthcare access by offering free workshops, informative pamphlets, and resources via our social media platform. We plan to equip both salon professionals and community members with the tools and knowledge to prioritize their health and well-being. From skincare tips to reproductive health awareness and mental wellness guidance, we aim to connect community members with local healthcare professionals and create a holistic approach to self-care and empowerment.
Join us in revolutionizing the salon experience by fostering an environment where beauty is not only skin-deep but also reflects a healthy mind, body, and spirit. Together, let's embark on a journey towards enhanced health, increased awareness, and a stronger community.
