Stars Above, Strength Within: A Journey Of Hope And Healing
At Redwood International, we understand the pain of losing a mother - our founder faced this at just 6 years old. We offer a warm space for healing through free events, resources and mentorship. Together, we’ll honour your mum’s memory, helping you reclaim joy and reach your full potential. This isn’t just what you deserve; it’s what your mum would want for you too.
I'm Carmen Bruce-Annan, and I support young Black girls aged 13-18 in healing unresolved grief from the loss of their mums, so they can reclaim joy, achieve their full potential, and honour their mothers' legacies.
I've been where you are—losing my mum at a young age was incredibly hard. This personal journey drives my passion to support and uplift young Black girls like you who have also faced this loss. Together, we'll find strength and healing, embracing your potential and honouring your mum's legacy.
