🥳 HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY VASTHY!!!

🌟 Woohoo!! Join us as we celebrate Vasthy Mompoint, our inspiring, talented, and fearless leader on her birthday!

❤️ From building a platform (with fun, original, and educational kids content) to support parents during the pandemic, to creating a space for children to learn and truly seeing themselves represented, to giving creatives/performers an opportunity to CREATE when the world shut down, to now releasing a children’s music album…she personifies ✨ Black Girl Magic ✨ in our humble opinions!

🎁 We could go on and on about how much we admire her for sharing her wealth of talent, wisdom, support, and love with us but instead we’ll just express our gratitude and well wishes for a bright year ahead. —Almost as bright as she, herself, shines!

Happy Birthday, Vasthy! 👸🏿🎉🎂🎁🧁
With Love, Your Vasthy & Friends Family

Message from Vasthy ✨🌈🌈

For the past 19 years, July has been designated .

It was created to bring awareness to the unique struggles that racial and ethnic minority communities face regarding mental illness in the United States.

✨ I became aware of personal mental health fews ago when my body and brain decided me running away from the sadness, would no longer work for them.

🌈I grew up one of the few minorities in my town, and not just in color, but in culture (my family is from Haiti) and having a neurodivergent brain.

✨These led to mental issues that I am just beginning to unpack and heal.

✨I deal in different ways, for the past 3 months I’ve spent may 30 minutes total on social media and have reconnected with the world around me.

🌈The other way is teaching kids to deal with their beautiful complicated emotions. We think kids can not handle the truth but I find they handle more. If we teach them it’s “normal” to not always feel “normal” I truly believe the world will become a better place.

❤️And they will not learn this until we do.

✨Because when we allow our selves to name the feelings we can swim through them and when we come up for air, the beautiful light that comes with peace joy and clarity ✨🌈✨
