The Teen Experience

TreasureTress x Hair Is Simba

“Have self confidence, believe in yourself, live your dreams, i learned that i am beautiful as i am” - June workshop attendee teen

On Sunday @ukafrolista raised a very important question - how often do you take time away from Social Media to unplug and reconnect? We realised just how important "me time" without a phone truly is for our mental health 👸🏾
Between school and family gatherings there are very few spaces for teens to meet girls outside of their social circles, and make new friends from various parts of the UK...so we created the Teen Experience to equip and connect our young girls with skills they need, discuss topics they rarely get the chance to explore with other intrigued minds and make new friends 👯👯👯 visit our Facebook Page @TheTeenExperience to prep some more pics of our Workshop Day ✌🏾 images are currently being uploaded to our album 🌸
The Teen Experience remaining workshop dates 👯👯👯
Me: Hey! Just wanted to say you're beautiful. I love your skin, your hair, your outfit...you're popping! Her: OMG- same! I love what your wearing and your braids... @ukafrolista conducted an important exercise whereby she had us compliment each other. Some of us knew each other, others were meeting for the first time 🌸 ''twas beautiful! 🌸👯
If you come to @wahnails for @theteenexperience and don't get a mirror pic then 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Tag us in yours 😂 we want to see them 😍
Connections... every Teen Experience Workshop we're blown away by the new friendships formed amongst the girls. Girls who think they're the only black or mixed race girls with a particular interest are blown away to realise they are not at all alone, there are tons of girls just like them closer than they thought. New friends 👯👯👯
The conversations we have with ourselves are the most important of all 🌸
A workshop Day brought to you by @treasuretress x @hairissimba isn't complete without goodie bags full of goodies from our favourite brands 🌸 This months workshop was sponsored by @palmersuk ✨
Two extremely powerful words✨ @ukafrolista @idefinemetour helped us finish this sentence perfectly 👸🏾 each teen walked away with concrete affirmations to repeat either on a daily basis or when they themselves are feeling down ✨
🌸✨🌸✨🌸✨ Your friends are a reflection of you. Who's in your team? What do they say about you? 👯
It takes a village.... Day ✌🏾on Sunday, we ready ✨

😌💕🌸 Sisters keeper... We reached out to London's leading ladies in a variety of industries and sectors and asked them to join us on a mission to create a safe space for girls and women who look just like us, and don't often see ourselves positively reflected. A space where they could be vulnerable and receive guidance on the issues they're facing or simply seek inspiration and encouragement from women absolutely killing the game! One of the first to say yes to the challenge was Jay & Tri of @curltureuk no questions asked, simply showed up and showed out 🌸 Forever grateful. Looking forward to introducing you all to our Day 2 Hosts ✨
Our Promise 🌸
Such a cutie 🌸 A top priority for us throughout the day is that we have the opportunity to connect with each and every teen who enter the door to the salon. We want them to feel comfortable and cared for in a judgement free zone, surrounded by their sisters 👯 We can't wait to connect with even more teens on Sunday as we explore some VERY interesting topics! Link to last tickets is in our bio 🌸
It's going down...💃🏽 6 bloggers/influencers/boss chicks are sitting amongst a very special group and of teens to explore topics which impacted them growing up and skills/tricks they've learned along the way... We're talking: self-care for for teen years and upwards, natural hair textures and the role media/platforms play in promoting hair types, makeup how to frame your face to look like the best version of YOU and enhancing/wrapping your crown 👸🏾 We're SO ready to get into it 🙋🏾💁🏽🙋🏿
