Permission To F.L.Y. is on a mission to enhance the confidence in women and girls with rare visible medical conditions (vitiligo, albinism, eczema, alopecia, bell's palsy, lupus, scoliosis, and more). We do this through mentorship, advocacy, and the performing arts.

Each year Permission to F.L.Y. presents, The Arts in College Park, an event designed to bring additional awareness of the arts to College Park and the surrounding area.

Depression often co-occurs with other illnesses and medical conditions. Major depressive disorder affects approximately 17.3 million American adults, or about 7.1% of the U.S. population age 18 and older, each year.

There are healing and therapeutic benefits in artistic expression. We offer inspirational performances in most genres of the performing arts. Such as dance, music, drama, and visual arts. This program is an all-day event. In the first half, we offer workshops covering various genres of the performing arts.

Being a dancer is not required, it is all about having fun and fellowship! We also have non-movement classes as an option! Permission To FLY provides attendees (ages 8 through 80) with a variety of workshops including African dance, hip-hop, jazz, line dancing, drama, painting, writing, empowerment, and more. The workshops are followed by an evening concert of uplifting and inspiring performances that empowers the audience to share their stories which in turn empowers others in the audience there and our online/virtual attendees.

Fully Love Yourself Through PERFORMING ARTS

Every woman deserves a chance to discover her greatness!
