Overview
The BLK Oasis Experience, a self-care sanctuary designed to nourish and empower our community with wellness, relaxation, and meaningful connections. This immersive experience brings together thoughtfully curated sessions, wellness services, and an exclusive marketplace where you can indulge, recharge, and celebrate health and joy.
The BLK Oasis Experience has brought together over 400 Black people to practice unapologetic self-care. What unifies us was our love for wellness, a commitment to Buying Black, and our search for more natural products. Find out more.
BLK Oasis is a thoughtfully-curated blend of education, empowerment, self-care, and wellness to slow down the “Black excellence” mindset and embrace a restorative approach to life. The event blends education, empowerment, wellness, and self-care to help participants slow down the “Black excellence” mindset and embrace a restorative approach to life.

Meet the Panelist
Christine Platt
When Christine Platt set out on her journey to live with less, she never intended to become The Afrominimalist. She just wanted to tame the chaos in her closet! But after struggling with the austerity and whiteness of mainstream minimalism, Christine realized why minimalism often seems unattainable for so many: the emphasis on all-white, barren aesthetics distracts from the practice of living with intention. And so, she decided to do things her way by curating a life of less influenced by the African diaspora.
