Houston- Tuesday afternoon, Texas Southern college students take time between classes with a self-care day on T.S.U. Campus. Joy Is Our Journey Foundation set up pink tents with activities to travel around the free festival for young women ages 12-24. A passport to joy is gifted to young black women and stamped after visiting interactive workshops focusing on future goals to become better women. The mental wellness event includes Dream Village, entrepreneurship, science and S.T.E.M., health and wellness, arts and culture, beauty and hair, and yoga stations catering to women for their 'Self Care Day.'
"What we hope this tour does is to inspire young women and girls to find their next moment of joy and inspire their future," said Executive of Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium Malikah Berry Rogers.
T.S.U. Alumni and music artist Meg Thee Stallion boldly represents women of all ages and backgrounds, encouraging women to find their voice, know their worth and continue to build self-confidence. Stallion's latest album Traumazine, which dropped late February is about Meg opening up about her mother's late passing in March 2019, having anxiety, and knowing how to 'hold it together'.
Meg The Stallion appeared as a guest on music artist Yung Miami's "Caresha Please" podcast show featured on Revolt discussing the making of Traumazine.
"It's okay to cry-- to be like I need help. Maybe I do need a little help, and I don't be feeling it all the time, "said Meg Thee Stallion.
Meg strongly advocates for young women to empower and strive for success in personal and professional goals.

"We want to generate joy, let the people in Texas know we will support the word led by black women here in Texas, and have a day to celebrate sisterhood and black girlhood. We can create self spaces and reclaim our girlhood and stand in joy and power and create real Big dreams," said Southern Black Girls and Women's Consortium Visionary Founder LaTosha Brown.
Many women were grateful to have an event catered to them, providing resources to check in and restore mental wellness, D.I.Y. creations, and take-home gifts. Joy Is Our Journey Foundation also invites Mikki's Soul food Kitchen to fuel the young women.
