BeatBox Botanicals, a local community and love minded healing practitioner group, teamed up with the Black Women's Blueprint, a civil and human rights organization to present Harriet's Apothecary: Summer Edition. The event offered various healing practices such as herbalism, essential oil therapy, breath work and more, to women of color and the queer and transgender community. The event title was inspired by Harriet Tubman, who was an inspirational revolutionary and healer and was meant to encourage more people to contact healers for their health problems in a space that is accepting towards all races and sexualities. Through increased participation, healers can become financially secure enough to continue this historic tradition that embodies many cultures around the world.
