Emily Wilkins is a passionate advocate for women's health; and the founder of Shades of Wellness.  She has a bachelor's in Health Systems Management and a graduate certification in Integrative Health and Wellness. She's also a proud boy mom of two.  She created SoW in 2020 to foster safe spaces to celebrate, uplift, and empower women of color on their health and wellness journey.  Inspired by her experiences navigating healing, self-love, wellness, and mental health she wanted to build a community where women of color can thrive together. 
​
Shades of Wellness's mission is rooted in creating safe, affirming spaces for black and brown women to prioritize themselves unapologetically through wellness, sisterhood, self-care, and self-love. When she's not curating resources for connecting with this beautiful community, you can find her spending time with family, enjoying a book, or exploring new adventures. Her goal is to remind every black woman there that they deserve joy, rest, and abundance.

Welcome to the community! Let's flourish together.
