ABOUT US
BE THE CHANGE.
The Melanated Wholistic Wellness Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of Black health in America.
As part of our mission, we present The Melanated Wholistic Wellness Fair— a cultural wellness experience that brings together vendors, practitioners, creators, and community members in celebration of wholistic living. Rather than simply offering information, we create an immersive marketplace and gathering space where wellness can be seen, tasted, heard, learned, practiced, and shared.
Through our fairs and community events, we honor healing as a collective journey, supporting the wellness of our spirit, mind, and body while uplifting the small businesses and cultural traditions that sustain us.
