On Saturday 12 Feburary 2022, I organised a one day wellbeing festival for women of colour in Brighton. Over 50 women came along, all the workshop leaders were from our Women of Colour Brighton Facebook group and everyone got a free branded tote bag on the day. We had an open mike for the poets, a slow make-up tutorial, yoga, self-massage, talks on self-love and healing movement and sound therapy! It was such a wonderful day, with women from all backgrounds, all industries, creative curious women of colour – some new to Brighton, some who’ve been here for decades – all connecting and sharing good vibes. Many thanks to Lighthouse for hosting, Afrori Books for sharing the space, Brighton and Hove City Council for the funding and Foodilic for the excellent vegan food. See you again next year.
