The YMI is conducting a Black History Brunch on Saturday, Feb.13th, from 10 am – 2 pm. The YMI Cultural Center hosts Black History Brunch. Speeches, poems, songs, and performances will be given. Food is also provided for the people attending. This event’s main purpose is to open Black history month and get to know local black performers in Asheville. It was an event where people can get entertained but also become educated on black history. All YMI events follow under the guidelines of the state during Covid -19.
There is a quota of up to 4 volunteers for this event. There will be a 5-hour slot spanning from 10 am – 2 pm. If there is a need for accommodations in time or other concerns, I’m happy to discuss them.

Law of Attraction (LOA) is a powerful guideline that can be utilized within our lives, and impacts ourselves as well as the collective consciousness. Let’s discuss practical, everyday ways we use and apply these tools in 2020! This session’s discussion will be, “Visualization exercises in LOA.” No advance prep, reading or knowledge required. Come with an open mind and heart, free of judgement, and let’s learn together! This is an inclusive, informal, interactive discussion for people will all levels of LOA understanding.
Some other topics we will cover in future discussions include:
– How to utilize LOA to manifest best case scenarios
– Gratitude practices as a tool in manifestation
– Honoring your own feelings, emotions and well being (and others) as a form of self care while manifesting
– Staying grounded, avoiding toxic positivity and spiritual bypassing when manifesting
– Visualization exercises in LOA
– Manifesting on specific themes (love, money, good health, etc.)
Discussions will be held by Kathryn Brahaney, myself. I’ve utilized Law of Attraction in having a significantly better recovery than anticipated from two major car accidents, in receiving a job offer that allowed me to relocate to Asheville, NC (where I live now) and in finding my favorite apartment to date in a city I wasn’t sure would be in my budget. I started these discussions to share my experience using Law of Attraction and to provide opportunities to learn more that are accessible and affordable. Looking forward to sharing more with you all and chatting about how we can use LOA in navigating the rest of 2020 and beyond!
