This year, StrongHome had the unique opportunity to partner with Curls on the Runway In a dazzling display of unity and empowerment through an event held on August 20th in Atlanta, Georgia, which served as a resounding testament to the transformative power of collaboration. This remarkable event, sponsored by the renowned hair care brand Curls, was an innovative evening of beauty, culture, and philanthropy. Set against the backdrop of The Carlyle in Atlanta, Georgia, it not only featured a captivating performance by the widely known, Atlanta-based rap artist, Yung Joc, but was also enthusiastically hosted by the multifaceted entrepreneur and TV personality Yandy Smith. Notably, the event was filmed by the nationally aired reality show, Love and Hip Hop, adding yet another layer of star-studded glamor to the affair. Upon entry, guests were greeted by an overwhelming array of vibrant colors as they enjoyed a stunning VIP experience, inclusive of over-stuffed gift bags, interactive activations, memorable picture moments, savory hors d’oeuvres, creatively concocted signature drinks, a chance to shop and support other small businesses, and a colorful fashion show with a powerful emphasis on natural hair.
However, what truly set this event apart was its heartwarming partnership with our nonprofit organization, StrongHome. StrongHome’s mission to strengthen families through the provision of resources that enhance family, faith, fitness, and finances harmonized seamlessly with the Curls on the Runway mission, which celebrates entrepreneurship and the power of self-expression and self-love. Together, they wove a narrative of resilience and unity, exemplifying the immense impact that collaboration between corporate entities and non-profit organizations can have on communities. A significant percentage of the event’s proceeds were dedicated to supporting StrongHome’s initiatives, adding a profound layer of purpose to an evening that shone not just in its glamour but in its unwavering commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of families. Curls on the Runway, with its fusion of style and substance, stands as a beacon of hope and empowerment, reminding us that when passion and purpose converge, incredible transformations become possible.

Our website is a treasure trove of resources and educational programs, designed to turn your family into a well-oiled, harmonious machine. We're all about financial stability (no more fighting over who spent too much on takeout), physical fitness (yes, chasing your toddler counts as cardio), and a positive mindset (because a family that laughs together, stays together).
We believe that a strong home isn't just about having the biggest TV or the fastest Wi-Fi. It's about prioritizing family, practicing the three C's - commitment, appreciation, and communication - every day, and being able to withstand the storm of adversity and challenges together. We're talking about the real-life version of 'The Incredibles' here!
Faith, fitness, and finances are our holy trinity for creating a strong home. We also offer a program called LUV YOUNIVERSITY, because who said learning can't be fun? And if you're into the glitz and glam, we've got a section for SHN Magazines and Celebrity Features.
We're not just about taking, we're about giving too. Our website provides opportunities for you to donate and share your personal stories. Because every family is unique, and we want to hear about your crazy Aunt Susan or your dog who thinks he's a cat.
Our website also features a blog with recent articles on everything from the power of kindness to the freedom of fitness. And if you're in the mood for some retail therapy, we've got a shop for Strong Home family products.
So, come on in, make yourself at home. At StrongHome Network, we're all about helping families build resilience, create a strong foundation, and most importantly, have a good laugh while doing it!
