Is The Notion Of Self Love Killing Our Community Spirit? | A ConveHERsation

The ConveHERsation Network (Formerly Women Of Power) is a platform designed to help encourage, edify and enlighten women! We believe that talking is therapeutic! We also believe in community-building, especially away from the online space. We believe in the power of connection, doing things outside of your comfort zone, and in sharing stories a way to inspire & relate.

Our next event is about Self Love, Self Care & Community we will be joined by some awesome women including Nia The Light, Elise Loubatieres (@LittleMissPlumful) & Emily Lavinia of @Aceandboogie.

This will be an open panel meaning we will be encouraging audience participation! For those of you that have been to our events you already know we love to get interactive! We are amping it up even more for a real great CONVEHERSATION.

SELF LOVE & SELF CARE VS COMMUNITY

Selfishness isn't bad but sometimes you get so comfortable serving yourself you forgot about the humans around you. You know the whole ‘I want to look after myself, my mental health, my money’ but I also miss humans from time to time. I find nowadays we struggle to maintain meaningful relationships! Cancel culture has become cool and we can be so ‘in love with ourselves’ we fail to notice our shit stinks sometimes. Weird right?!

Why is my self love causing me self inflicted pain (sometimes)?

Do we throw in the towel on each other too soon?

Have we lost the sense of community?

Is a sacrifice being made here?

Is it more me me me and less us us us?

Bio

Zimbabwean & English Gemini Nia is a breath of fresh air in the YouTuber community. She is a confidence advocate with younger girls learning to accept their bodies and quirks and has started a movement called #Froday (Fro Friday) dedicated to embracing her curls! Recently, she has ventured into the business of hair and has opened her salon The Curl Bar London which is a safe space for women to feel empowered.

"It started with a simple acceptance to love my natural hair that has somehow allowed me to grow as a person. Acceptance of your flaws and your imperfections leads to great things. Embrace who you are, embrace everything about you, embrace your flaws. They are what make you, you" - Nia The Light.
