Self-Love Charm Bracelets
In collaboration with Enlace Comunitario’s Chalk About It Event raising awareness about teen dating violence at Tigueux Park, we invite you to create a love-filled charm bracelet that reflects who you are and what you cherish. Charm traditions trace back to Africa and are rooted in cultural expression, spiritual protection, and abundance. Participants will design their own bracelet using string and a variety of beads, creating a meaningful piece to wear and keep.
