What is a #StressProtest?
Self-care is a revolutionary act.
GirlTrek, the most inspiring health movement for Black women in the country, is hosting the ultimate self-care experience. This is exactly what you need! A full weekend of soul rejuvenation, outdoor relaxation and mindful moments in Rocky Mountain National Park. Imagine it: Black women coming together to hike, horseback ride, meditate, eat s’mores around the campfire, lounge in our pjs with friends and MORE! Grab your girls, a good book, pack your bags and leave your worries behind!
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation…”
-Audre Lorde

Our Story
Vanessa Garrison and Morgan Dixon have been creating safe spaces for healing and fellowship with Black women for over a decade. As the cofounders of GirlTrek, the largest public health nonprofit for Black women and girls, they inspire women to live their healthiest, most fulfilled lives. Morgan, Vanessa and thousands of Black women around the country dedicated the entire year of 2018 to staging a #StressProtest. That initial commitment is now an annual tradition. They are committing to daily walks, exploring new healing hobbies and hiking mountain ridges as a reclamation of self-care.
Alongside a national staff of radiant women, scores of talented faculty and hundreds of volunteers, Morgan and Vanessa are leading a rebellion against stress, disease and pain. This weekend is an invitation to join them in a revolutionary act of self-care! Why? Because in the words of Civil Rights icon Fannie Lou Hamer, we are “sick and tired of being sick and tired.”
