One of my little friends has been working on attention to task, body regulation, and learning how to keep a still, calm body during activities. What better way to support those goals than with extra-large Jenga? 💙

What may look like “just a game” is actually a powerful opportunity for skill-building. Extra-large Jenga helps strengthen focus, turn-taking, patience, problem-solving, depth perception, motor planning, and frustration tolerance, all while creating a fun and engaging environment for learning.

Of course, there were moments of frustration, and that became part of the lesson too. We paused, worked through those big feelings, practiced different calming strategies, and learned new ways to help regulate our little bodies so we could get back to the task.
Once the rhythm was found and confidence kicked in, it quickly turned into the real challenge, trying to figure out how he could finally beat Dr. Taj 😏✨

These are the moments where growth happens through play, patience, and purposeful connection.

We’re exploring the launch of an OT Parenting Education Series designed to support families through regulation, participation, and real-life routines without pressure or perfection.

As we shape this series, we’d love to know which parents and caregivers are interested in learning more.

If you’d like early access, updates, and OT-informed parenting tools, we invite to stay connected.

Last weekend, Dr. Taj partnered with You’re So Beautiful, Inc. for one of their weekend sessions and facilitated a themed-based group on Wellness and Emotional Regulation.

Together, we created a safe, affirming space to laugh, bond, and build meaningful connections. A beautiful time was had by all… ✨

Wellness Matters with Dr. Taj:

This month, our YSB Seniors were poured into by the incredible Dr. Taj Burroughs of Axxis Wellness during our Health and Wellness session.

We began by setting a few community expectations to build a respectful and supportive space:

✨ One person speaks at a time
✨ Listen with intention
✨ “Don’t yuck my yum,” a reminder to honor and respect one another’s preferences.

From there, Dr. Taj led a meaningful workshop mixed with hands-on, interactive activities that encouraged our girls to pause and connect with their emotions. After each activity, she invited them to reflect on what came up for them — how it made them feel, what they noticed inside, and the emotions that surfaced.

Through these check-ins, the girls practiced emotional awareness and began developing healthier ways to understand and express their feelings.

But this post is more than a recap — it’s also a tribute….Before You’re So Beautiful was fully established, before dates were set, before the full vision was clear, Dr. Taj was the very first facilitator I asked to come pour into our girls. And without hesitation — without knowing exactly what this journey would look like — she said yes!
She believed in the mission from the very beginning, and she has been on board ever since.

Taj, thank you for your heart, your expertise, and your unwavering support. Your impact on our girls is already powerful, and we are deeply grateful. 🩷🤎

Dr. Billy Johnson spoke truth — our communities continue to carry the weight of inequity, not because we lack strength or will, but because access to critical resources has never been equal.

This year’s Black Trauma Narrative theme — “The State of Mental Wellness for Black Men” — calls us to confront that truth head-on. Too often, the mental health of our brothers is overlooked, under-resourced, and stigmatized. We’re gathering to change that story — by naming the gaps, centering lived experience, and building pathways that lead to real healing and lasting justice.

This is more than a conversation.

This is the work. This is the movement.
