Summary

Lauren (she/they) announces that Black Girl In Om’s very first physical space, home, is coming soon to the Longfellow community in Minneapolis! In this mini-sode of the BGIO Podcast, Lauren takes us through the serendipitous journey toward crafting the vision and finding the perfect location to plant the roots of what will be an oasis of intergenerational healing and wellness for black people. Home will feature a black-sourced, organic herbal apothecary, diverse healing modalities from specialized practitioners, culturally-specific programming for black folk to heal and come together in community, a curated shop of essentials, and more. Even in the face of injustice, we can create heaven on earth right here, right now. The story of how home came to be is a testament to how walking in alignment with your purpose and staying committed to your vision inevitably attracts a resonant community along your shared path. Let the journey begin! You can offer support to Home by BGIO at gofund.me/8de0022e To find out more about the space, head over to blackgirlinom.com/home-by-bgio

So this summer, as I shared in the season opener for season five, I returned to my home, my

literal childhood home, and I've been from March through August, stayed with my family.

1:45.2

And returning to Minnesota, you know, was not in my plan for my life ever.
