A Community Healing Experience for All
This in-person gathering invites individuals, families, and community members from all backgrounds to come together for intentional conversation, reflection, and connection around mental wellness.
Inspired by Sharing Hope, a national initiative by NAMI, this experience creates space to destigmatize mental health and build pathways to healing through storytelling, dialogue, and culturally grounded understanding. While honoring the lived experiences of Black and Latino communities, this event has expanded to welcome all who are seeking connection, learning, and support.

Love Yourself First
A Valentine’s Month Healing Experience for Black & Latina Women

Gentle grounding and affirmations centered on worth and emotional safety
Honest conversation about self-love, boundaries, and identity shifts
Reflection on life after relationship loss, transition, or self-abandonment

Women, Money & Mental Health
This four-part virtual workshop series explored the intersection of financial literacy and mental health for Black and Latina women. Hosted by Daughters of Both Suns in partnership with Ana Diaz of Operation HOPE, the series created space to address the emotional, cultural, and systemic factors that shape women’s relationships with money.
Across four weeks, participants engaged in guided discussions, practical tools, and reflective exercises focused on budgeting, financial confidence, money-related stress, and empowerment. Each session blended education with healing-centered practices, helping participants break silence around the gender money gap while building resilience and clarity around their financial futures.
This series emphasized that financial wellness and mental health are deeply connected—and that healing must address both.
