Celebrate National Poetry Month with Melanin Queen Creative by doing a self-care activity using poems.

Join Melanin Queen Creative for a fun meetup to celebrate National Poetry Month. We'll do our self-care card activity, #45 Follow a Trail of Words. This activity is about picking words from a book to help uncover a hidden message and self reflect. Feel free to bring your favorite poetry books.
