The Reclming Wellness campgn by Honey Pot and Target, in its third year, made a significant impact at Howard University during Black History Month. This event was not just about gathering attees; it was a testament to community revival. Founded by Beatrice Dixon in 2014, Honey Pot has emerged as a beacon, pioneering innovative products and leading educational initiatives that redefine Black health as an integral part of self-care.
Honey Pot's core message of reclming wellness is deeply rooted in fostering inner connections - nurturing the mind, body, and soul through transformative practices. This movement's legacy traces back to the 1970s with Black-led organizations advocating for prioritizing health and well-being alongside liberation struggles. Consequently, self-care remns a fundamental pillar of community empowerment.
A full-day event produced by Beyond 8 kicked off with an intimate master class featuring Dixon and Melissa Butler, founder and CEO of The Lip Bar and Thread Beauty. These two entrepreneurial powerhouses, long-time fris, shared their transformative journeys to the helm of their brands with members of Howard’s Black Girl's House chapter and students from diverse fields who were eager to forge their own paths.
