IT'S TIME FOR KARAOKE!!!!!

One of the activities that our members asked for was karaoke, and we're making it happen. We bring the mics, you being your voice! 🎤

And we don't want to hear "But I don't sing well" because neither do we. Let's have fun, let go and enjoy a cool time together!

What is your go-to karaoke song?

This week at The Spectrum, we will take some time to learn some self-care practices through art!

Last week, we had an amazing conversation on coping mechanisms and stress, so learning new and healthier ways to manage stress in our lives seemed like a good idea 💡

We would also love to create a playlist with songs that help you cope through difficult times. Add yours in the comments!

This Wednesday, we will be learning about World AIDS Day, how it came to be, the impact on our community, and how we have and will continue to move forward.

We will also reflect on a common question: why do we keep talking about it??

Join us to learn, to share, to ask, and to be together ❤️
