@paradiseparkatl The wellness world often forgets the women who hold the world. 💯🎉🌺
But tucked within 8 acres of lush Southern greenery, there’s a place doing it differently. At Paradise Park ATL, Black women aren’t afterthoughts — they’re the entire mission. ❤️💯🎉🌸

While many flock to luxury spas with marble and white robes, others are discovering something more rooted in heritage and legacy — healing in the soil, stillness by the river, herbs in hand. 🎉🎉 A Black-owned retreat space where the herbs are homegrown, the music is live, and the experience is unforgettable. 🥳

Where else can you stretch and release tension along the river, sip red raspberry tea harvested from the land, and get a farm-to-table vegan meal while sunflowers dance around you?

This weekend’s guest said it best:
“I didn’t know how badly I needed this until I felt my body relax for the first time in years.”
🌺🌺 Coming up soon:
🧘🏾‍♀️ A two-day virtual wellness retreat centered on reclaiming your radiance.
🌿 And a sacred one-day return to nature on August 24th.

This is more than self-care.
This is legacy care.

Did you know that during the dark days of SEGREGATION in the United States, Black families were forced to pay TAXES that built schools their own children could not enter? While white children sat in shiny classrooms with new books and warm heaters, many Black kids sat in crumbling buildings, sometimes with no desks, no heat, and torn books passed down like leftover scraps.

This painful TRUTH is not just a forgotten piece of history — it’s proof of the strength and sacrifice that Black communities made just to claim a BASIC RIGHT: EDUCATION. Even when the SYSTEM locked them out, they built their own schools, taught their own kids at home, and stood up to unfair laws.

Stories like this remind us that every time you walk freely into a classroom today, or send your child to a good school, someone before you PAID THE PRICE for that freedom — sometimes twice. Once with their taxes, again with their struggle.

This is why we must never let these stories fade. HISTORY is more than dates and old photos — it’s the sacrifice, sweat, and HOPE that built the world we live in today.

This fact is backed by the US National Park Service and the Equal Justice Initiative, which documented how Black families often funded schools through taxes while being banned from attending them. (Source: Equal Justice Initiative, Segregation in America Report, 2018)
