Live on Instagram @moca from Crenshaw Dairy Mart's abolitionist pod (prototype)
Daring To Live Beyond Just Existing: The courageous journey to self-actualization. Camille Langston, Kismet Honey, and Markeith Royster will be leading interactive programs centered in wellness practices that can provide BIPOC citizens with a little pathway to living fully, instead of just existing under capitalism, in their daily lives. Daring To Live Beyond Just Existing at the abolitionist pod (prototype) is curated by Juice Wood.
Kismet Honey is a wellness solutions company. We are expanding the awareness and access for people to put healing into practice in a safe space. We partner with individuals, and companies to execute retreats, workshops, and accountability/planning initiatives. On Wednesday, May 26th from 4 - 5pm PT, we will be facilitating a sound bath and Reiki.
Juice Wood is a transmasculine/non-binary multi-hyphenated artist, community builder, abolitionist, entrepreneur, taco enthusiast & dog lover from Inglewood, CA. Having just received his master’s degree from the California Institute of the Arts, she is incredibly honored to be curating an event that focuses on everything she is passionate about.
