Description of the Activity: After long periods of stress, work-related or personal, the body
tends to respond. The largest organ of our body- our brown skin- often shows the stress before
the rest of the body. The sisters were actively engaged in the session, learning how to best care
for our beautiful brown skin. We learned about the power of water and food to improve the
condition of our skin and how to cleanse, calm, and rejuvenate using DIY skincare regimen.
We felt empowered and refreshed knowing that we could learn to care of our beautiful brown
skin.

their classrooms. A newly retired Soror has taken on the role of Implementation Coach for a
mixed-method research study at the local university which infuses cultural relevance in public
schools.

strengthen its ties to the area.
