CinnaMoms Vision Board Party w/ Charity Faye

Charity Faye of Black Women for Wellness enters our virtual space with warmth and intention. She invites us to pause, close our eyes, take a deep breath, and says:

“Let’s be here, in this space and this moment. Remind yourself that you are worthy of achieving your wildest dreams. You deserve to be here, to be whole and healthy. You are supported. You are not alone. You are loved. You are healthy. You are whole. You are beautiful. You are sacred. And you are here now.”

We inhaled and slowly exhaled, we did this as a community.

On January 16, CinnaMoms and Charity from Black Women for Wellness gathered on Zoom for our monthly virtual support group, and this time, we celebrated the year ahead with our first-ever Vision Board Party! It was an opportunity to plan, manifest, and share our dreams for 2025.

Charity’s expertise lies in health education, empowerment, and advocacy through both virtual and in-person services. As the leader of this gathering, she guided us in creating vision boards—tools to help us visualize and work toward our personal and collective goals.

What is a Vision Board?

Charity explains that a vision board is both a physical or digital collage that represents our aspirations for the year ahead. It’s not just about the goals we want to achieve, but also about the feelings we want to experience. A vision board is a visual representation of our hopes, our dreams, and the energy we wish to cultivate.

We took a moment to reflect on what we wanted for ourselves in 2025. What would your vision board reflect?

In a calm and supportive environment, CinnaMoms attendees identified key categories for their boards—career, travel, health, financial independence, and peace. But beyond tangible goals, there was a focus on emotions, like the sense of safety and satisfaction.

One participant shared, “I want to create a home, a safe place for friends and loved ones. I want to create the welcoming space my grandmother once shared with us and the community.”

Visualizing our future is just the beginning. Manifestation isn’t just about placing hopes and dreams on a board—it’s about recognizing that we are worthy of them.

“We are here to do the work, but we’re not responsible for the ‘how,’ ‘when,’ and ‘where’ of how our dreams come to life” -Charity. 

We are the who, we define the what, but it’s up to us to take the necessary steps to make our visions a reality.

“Who do you think you are?”

“I am worthy of every dream I hold in my heart, and I take bold steps to bring them to life.” — Charity Faye

What about you?

It isn’t uncommon to see parents putting everyone before themselves; almost as if it were part of an unwritten contract we all sign when starting parenthood? But how can we care for others if we aren’t first caring for ourselves? Strangely, and contrary to popular belief, it is the least selfish thing to do. Too many people depend on you. As Charity reminds us, “You are at the center of your life, and you are worthy!”
