Dear Brown Girl Heart-to-Heart Letters
Heart-to-Heart Letters is a unique initiative by Brown Girl Wellness that uses the simple power of words to uplift, connect, and heal. Through letter-writing workshops and community events, we help participants—including young people, women, and caregivers—express their stories, share encouragement, and access vital resources. We proudly partner with K-12 schools, colleges and universities, community organizations, museums, businesses, sports teams, churches, and more to spread hope and build connections. Whether it’s a note of hope to a family member, a message of gratitude to a community hero, or an advocacy letter for support, each Heart-to-Heart Letter is a step toward a stronger, more united community. Join us as we change lives one letter at a time.
