"Women are the backbones of their families and communities, and if they are not thriving in a healthy way (physically, emotionally and spiritually), it will begin to take a toll on their bodies, mindset, well being and ultimately their families, and their lives. We want to give women an opportunity to recharge and to remind her how important it is to love herself from the inside out first, putting her in the best position to help herself and bring out the best in others!

Her courageous and unselfish decision to hold an open casket funeral, helped to spark the modern civil rights movement.
