HEALING STARTS WITHIN

BALLOU HIGH SCHOOL WOMEN’S DAY

Every year DTLR Community Outreach partners with the staff at Ballou High School in Southeast DC to help them give the young ladies an intentional experience to celebrate their womanhood, possibilities, and beauty with our community during Women’s History Month.

This year’s theme was Healing Starts

Within! It included sessions with licensed therapist, Ms. Courtney Chanel, who shared her book “The Affirmation Book” and ways to cope and deal with life moments.

Next, we transitioned to a session guided sound bath of yoga and meditation with a local instructor. Each student received their own yoga mats to continue what they learned at home. We ended the event with a chat and chew that included food from a local catering company and a panel of influential Women from all over the DC metro area.
