With so much happening in the world today, it is very easy to become unaware of the many emotions and feelings you go through on a daily basis.

Paying attention to, acknowledging, and talking about our feelings is not something a lot of Black men and women have been taught to do or have seen modeled. Have you heard during some point of your life "You'll be fine" or "You need to get over it!"?

We want you to know that IT IS OK to recognize and talk about emotions, good and bad, because they are part of being HUMAN.

Value Your Vibes aims to provide easy-to-use culturally-relatable tools and relevant resources to help Black individuals value their vibes and improve their emotional well-being as they interact with themselves, family, friends, communities, and organizations on a daily basis.

Value Your Vibes believes that the development of emotional intelligence through self-awareness can be achieved by recognizing how emotions and feelings can affect mental health, work/school performance, physical health, and relationships, which will ultimately lead to more acceptance, understanding, compassion, and respect toward one another. It is our goal to have our tools be seen and used in homes, classrooms, workplaces, clinics, and any environment that places a high value on personal and professional development and has an interest in improving emotional intelligence skills.
