This Women's History Month, we're celebrating a powerful collaboration between Sistas With ADHD and Calm Strips, a company that designs innovative sensory aids. This partnership goes beyond offering a cool new product (the amazing Calm Strips + Sistas With ADHD: A Breath of Liberation); it represents a significant step forward for mental health awareness and accessibility in the Black community.
Calming the Chaos, Supporting Black Women with ADHD
For many Black women, ADHD can feel isolating and misunderstood. Sistas With ADHD, founded by the incredible Torrian Timms, works tirelessly to create a safe space for Black women with ADHD to share their stories, access resources, and find support. Their collaboration with Calm Strips is a brilliant step forward.
Calm Strips are innovative, reusable sensory stickers that help manage fidgeting and promote focus. This partnership brings these calming tools directly to the Black ADHD community, along with a portion of the proceeds being donated back to Sistas With ADHD.
Sistas With ADHD: A Safe Haven for Black Women with ADHD
Founded by Torrian Timms, a passionate advocate and educator, Sistas With ADHD is more than just an organization. It's a sisterhood. A space where Black women with ADHD can connect, share stories, access resources, and celebrate their unique strengths. ADHD can manifest differently in women and girls, and for Black women, the journey can be even more isolating due to cultural stigmas and a lack of representation in mainstream narratives. Sistas With ADHD tackles this head-on, fostering a space for open conversations and genuine understanding.
Calm Strips: Sensory Support for a Focused Mind
Calm Strips are innovative, reusable sensory stickers designed to promote focus and mindfulness. Their unique texture provides a calming outlet for restless energy, a common symptom of ADHD. This collaboration between Sistas With ADHD and Calm Strips isn't just about creating a product that looks good. It's about providing Black women and girls with ADHD with a discreet and effective tool to manage their symptoms and stay present throughout the day.
A Collaboration That Uplifts
This Women's History Month, the Sistas With ADHD and Calm Strips partnership exemplifies the power of women supporting women. By creating a product specifically designed to meet the needs of Black women with ADHD, this collaboration directly addresses a gap in the marketplace. A portion of the proceeds will also be donated back to Sistas With ADHD, further empowering the organization to continue its vital work.
Beyond the Product: Building a Stronger Community
The impact of this partnership goes beyond the sale of a sensory sticker. It's about building a stronger community for Black women and girls with ADHD. It sends a powerful message: you are seen, you are heard, and your struggles are valid. It's about celebrating neurodiversity and ensuring that Black women with ADHD have the tools and support they need to thrive.
This Women's History Month, let's celebrate the Sistas With ADHD and Calm Strips collaboration. It's a testament to the power of women coming together to create positive change, one calm strip (and one empowered sista) at a time.
