Solace is centered around facilitating conversations about how black womxn care for themselves and the complexities of that process. This project is dedicated to fostering discussions on mental health and wellness by prioritizing trust, reciprocity, and support. It relies on cultivating partnerships and nurturing relationships with artist and audiences to thrive.
Solace is the culmination of self love and reflection as experienced by the artists. Dr. T, Emmanuela Etukudo, Kelli Williams, and Mj bestow feelings of peace, grief, humor, and healing. All art represents the underlying and ever present mission of Solace.
