To commemorate Teena's Legacy 10th Year Anniversary, we decided to take our unique and innovative concept on a "National Day Tour," building off the momentum of our African and Black History Art Exhibit, and its theme, " Blooming out of Trauma." We handpicked meaningful topics dear to our hearts from the National Day Calendar to raise awareness through the art of upholstery. Our goal is to create safe spaces where individuals can come for some self-reflection, self-expression some healing and storytelling all while spreading some positive energy and LOVE!
* On the highlighted days we will either have an actual workshop or we will donate a custom-made Teena's Legacy chair.
