The purpose of Wrap Your beYOUty Movement (WYBM) is to foster and facilitate Healing Circles, neighborhood gatherings, community forums and safe, creative spaces where women in the community can come together to connect, share, encourage, inspire and build.

 

During our annual and year round gatherings, WYBM works with hundreds of healers, instructors, coaches, historians, residents, women-led businesses and practices to bring awareness and self-care techniques to the disenfranchised communities of Chicago.

 

WYBM utilizes the time and talents of local Chicago Artists and Practitioners to embody, engage and introduce ancient indigenous artforms such as headwrapping, Tibetan Singing Bowls, African and West Indian Dance, Spoken Word and Song to community residents. These culturally rich exchanges foster true mental, physical and emotional healing on the south and west sides of Chicago and are made possible by the generous donations from supporters, like YOU. 

 

The Wrap Your beYOUty Movement had a tough pandemic year. An extremely up close and personal, event-based organization, the pandemic caused the WYBM team to be even more creative in our efforts to keep the women of the village uplifted, engaged and inspired. With Social media engagements and virtual gatherings, we had an even farther reach, inspiring over 2,000 men, women and youth during our summer of solidarity. We are super excited as we plan for a promising hybrid year of peace, love and renewal.

 

Every cent donated allows our community of practice to provide free programming in communities where consistent intervention is a matter of survival. We appreciate your support beyond words!! Thank you!!!
