After a successful launch at Alabama State University earlier this year, the Foundation and kate spade new york are thrilled to announce the expansion of the groundbreaking BLHF Self-Care Wellness Pods initiative, extending our SheCare series to the women at Hampton University!
Mental health matters and this collaboration is a significant step towards our goal of breaking down barriers and providing essential mental wellness care to over 25,000 Black women on HBCU campuses.

- Workshops and seminars on a variety of requested topics.
- Rest pods for silence and respite, to reset from daily stressors.
