Uniquely You Tea Party

The Uniquely You Tea Party offers a safe space for girls that identify as members of the African diaspora, ages 8-11 to share their stories. It is designed to strengthen the social and emotional development of pre-adolescent, girls that may have been effected by systems of oppression and colorism, under the guidance of intelligent, self-actualized, professional, women from the Oak Park Community. The tea party serves as a platform to reframe the narrative of beauty, body-image, and intelligence. Our goal is to provide a culturally responsive program that encourages, affirms, and offers support to girls that are experiencing difficulties navigating spaces that were not historically designed for their unique, cultural needs. We recognize that access does not always equal acceptance. Ase Productions Inc. is dedicated to empowering our children through events that are uplifting, educational, and fun while building the skills needed to become confident leaders of tomorrow! Tea party dresses and attire are recommended however, it is not required. NOTE: The Echo Center is facilitating space but this is an 'Ase Production, Inc.' event
