Meet the Influencers Disrupting the Wellness Space

Here at BGB we wanted to highlight our favorite Wellness Influencers who are creating new and creative communities for groups that are usually overlooked in this space. Especially during this period of time, we all need to find spaces and communities that make us feel calm and safe whether that is online or offline.

Christina M. Rice - Founder and CEO of OMNOIRE

Happy Monday Tribe.⠀ ⠀ This week we invite you to do the work. Your joy, your purpose, your ability to thrive are worth the discomfort of sitting with and working through the things that don't serve you. ⠀ ⠀ Your best life is in your hands, sis. What are you willing to do or grow through to attain it?⠀ #affirmations⠀ ⠀

She started this online space and social community for women of color because as her interest and training in yoga progressed she noticed a distinct lack of representation and diversity in the wellness space. OMNoire was born from that observation and has expanded into a private members community called BREATHE by OMNoire and an OMNoire Retreat in Portugal scheduled for September 2020 (pending Covid-19 status).

Happy Friday Tribe! We are so excited to share the Breathe schedule with you. For those who don't know, Breathe is our private members community for women who need space to breathe, connect, cultivate, and bloom.⠀ ⠀ We've got a lot of amazing things coming up over the next 5 weeks including masterclasses with @chocolako and OMNoire founder @christinamrice, and our next Breathe Virtual Retreat! I promise you are not going to want to miss this.⠀ ⠀ It's the perfect day to sign up. Today is our last June happy hour and it's going to be a good one! Click the link in the bio to join us and we'll see you in the member's community!✨⠀ ⠀ #BreathebyOmnoire #community #OMNTribe #BreatheVirtualRetreat⠀

Myleik Teele - Founder of MyTaughtYou

MyTaughtYou is an inspiring space for young, multicultural women. This is a truthful, honest space where Myleik gives out inspirational advice, shares valuable inspirational tools which is primarily through a powerful podcast. If you are looking for a place to guide you professionally, mentally or a virtual all round mentor, this is where to look.

Everything I create is with women in mind, and this #internationalwomensday, I am genuinely grateful for all of the women in my life. I have only made it this far because of the brilliance of women. ⠀ One of my favorite moments at the @mtyretreat happened early (I'm talking 6 AM ) in the morning with all of the attendees and @sarahjakesroberts. When we bow our heads and grasp hands, our differences fade away, united by the bond of God's presence. When we come together in prayer, the things that generally keep us from connecting and celebrating one another are left at the door of prayer. (Journeys In Grace)⠀ ⠀ Salute!

Someone wrote me saying she was a late bloomer "like me" 🧐 and my first thought was "but I'm not LATE!" I arrived exactly where I should be at the time I was supposed to. We should bloom over and over again. And don't let these societal imposed deadlines make you feel "late." The path you're on now won't likely be the path you stay on forever. The life you are living today (right now) is right on time! #mytaughtyou
