Covid hit and my 2 grand is gone! Still waiting for at least a response from messages left.

Trip was cancelled due to COVID however, they have since made actions to continue in 2022. Excited for the experience
By Briana B for Unleash Your Inner Goddess: Greece TTraVsperience on Jan 18, 2021
This trip was more than I could imagine. Like-minded women got together and shared some vital ways on how to take care of themselves, as women forget to do so often while taken care of everyone else. From the beginning we came together with an introduction of ourself and departed with a new found SISTETHOOD. The self meditation classes was amazing. Just to get intertwined with one self was something I had never experience . Entering a non judgment zone was also great as we were able to open up about some things that may have been holding us back. All I can say is I had a wonderful time and this is one getaway you do not want to miss.

This was my first travel experience with BGOTG and I was thoroughly impressed. We ladies take care of everyone else so the Self Care Weekend was the perfect opportunity to detach from our demanding lifestyles and rejuvenate. It was well organized, I met some amazing women, and we had a wonderful time. Thank you for an amazing experience.

The weekend was such a wonderful experience. As an invited guest, not previously familiar with the host/organizer, I wasn’t sure what to expect and ended up being very pleasantly surprised. A lot of thought went into the details of the event, the weekend was truly a self care event and a wonderful and inspirational gathering of beautiful black women!
