It is Feel Good, Heal Good Friday at SASHA Center.

Today, we cannot talk about feeling good without acknowledging the pain in our communities. Too many innocent Black women have recently been harmed, leaving families grieving and communities searching for answers.

Black women deserve to feel safe in their homes, workplaces, neighborhoods and everyday lives. Protecting Black women requires more than words, it calls for accountability, awareness and collective action.

Healing begins when we refuse to look away. Check on the women in your life. Listen when they speak. Take concerns seriously. Challenge harmful behavior. Support organizations working to prevent violence and create safer communities.

This Friday, let us turn our concern into compassion and our compassion into action. When Black women are protected, supported and valued, our entire community becomes stronger.

HELLO MONDAY!

Here's your assignment this week:
Find something that makes you happy—and don't make it productive.
Not something that makes money.
Not something that checks a box.
Not something that takes care of somebody else.
Something that's simply...
FUN.

Buy the flowers.
Play the music too loud.
Call the friend who makes your stomach hurt from laughing.
Put on the outfit you've been "saving."
Dance in the kitchen.
Go get the ice cream.
Book the little outing.
Sit by the water and do absolutely nothing.
Sometimes we've spent so much time surviving, healing, working, caregiving and holding everything together that we forget:

Joy is part of our well-being too.
And Sis, you don't have to wait until everything is fixed to experience it.
Life can be complicated and you can laugh today.
You can still be healing and have a beautiful afternoon.
You can carry grief and experience something that makes your heart feel light.

Two things can be true.
So sometime this week, I want you to do something for no other reason than...
"This makes me happy."

**(We were given permission to share this beautiful song with you from The Black Girl Joy Picnic we had recently.)

Take what you need into the week. Leave the rest here.
Love,
SASHA Center

It is Heal Good, Feel Good Friday at SASHA Center. And here’s a loving reminder:

Healing doesn’t always look like a breakthrough. Sometimes, it looks like choosing yourself again.

It can be taking a moment to breathe, honoring what your body needs, setting a boundary without guilt, resting without explanation, or allowing yourself to experience joy after everything you’ve survived.

This Feel Good, Heal Good Friday, SASHA Center invites you to remember: you deserve moments that feel good while you heal.

You don’t have to wait until the healing is complete to experience peace, softness, laughter, beauty, connection, or joy. Those moments can be part of the healing, too.

What’s one thing you’re doing today that feels good to your mind, body, or spirit? Share below and encourage another experiencer or supporter to make space for themselves today.
