Support NC’s 1st Black Innovation Center

I'm raising $25,000 because I believe wellness should not be limited to massages, meditation, or skincare though all of those matter. True wellness means being equipped for life. It's financial security. It's access to mentorship. It's being seen and supported professionally. It's having a community that helps you not only survive— but evolve. That's the kind of experience I want to help build at the Innovation Center. So many people in Charlotte and in cities like ours are walking around with heavy mental loads, chronic stress, and unmet potential. They're talented, motivated, and resilient, but often don't have a place to reset, recharge, and relearn how to move through the world with peace and power. This $25,000 will help activate a space in the Innovation Center where that becomes possible. Restoration spaces, including facials and esthetic care for skin and self-confidence, meditation, and emotional processing - Financial empowerment sessions that teach how to build credit, save smart, and create generational wealth - Professional mentorship meetups with leaders across industries who are relatable and progressive - "Life hack" courses on managing stress, building routines, navigating career pivots, and owning your time - Herbal workshops and healing spaces rooted in culture, community, and scientific insight I want to pioneer what wellness looks like in a high-functioning world: accessible, educational, practical, beautiful, and deeply rooted in community healing and personal power. The Innovation Center is the perfect soil for this vision. With all of your support, we can plant something here that continues to grow-something our city, and our people, have been waiting for.
