Eleven years ago I had just graduated from Howard University with a degree, a stack of student loans and no clear plan. I was working bottle service to make ends meet, tired, running on empty and trying to figure it out. I chose a better life, one small yes at a time. That's what going green means to me: permission to go.

This challenge is that first small yes. For five days we drink our Iaso Tea, move our bodies, nourish ourselves, and show up for each other. No perfection. No judgment. Just you, getting a little more well and a little more whole.
