Who runs the world? Girls! This powerful mantra resonated during the recent ENVSN Fest, a celebration of women in leadership and community empowerment.
Adidas Community IT GIRL House
One of the standout elements of the festival was the adidas Community IT GIRL House, which hosted the inspiring She Runs This workshop. Ameerah Omar, a representative from adidas Runners NYC, highlighted the mission of the workshop. The aim of this initiative was to highlight the benefits of running while fostering a sense of community among women.
Workshops and wellness
The festival also focused on wellness and mental health, offering a series of workshops. Attendees enjoyed a meditation and journaling session led by Ali Simon, adidas’ Community Architect, as well as a special edition of The Lay Out with Emily Anadu. Anadu previously shared her thoughts on the importance of community connections, explaining that she enjoys the idea of people having deeper conversations and getting to know each other. This sentiment reflects the festival’s goal of combating loneliness in a busy city like New York.
Creative sessions and style workshops
In addition to the wellness workshops, attendees participated in creative sessions including style sessions with Ashlee Muhammad and Tulie Yaito, sneaker customization workshops with Kimmiski Art and Samantha Alvarado, and outfit designs with Shakira Javonni.
These activities not only promoted self-expression but also strengthened the participants’ sense of community.
ENVSN Fest was more than just an event; it was a movement aimed at empowering women through sport, creativity and community. Initiatives like this remind us how important connection and support are on our journeys.
