A Celebration of Healing, Connection & Community
The Community Health & Wellness Day came alive on September 13th, 2025, as author Jonnice Cooke met readers face-to-face for a beautiful afternoon of healing and reflection. Hosted at the Beltway Church of Christ in Camp Springs, MD, the event overflowed with smiles, conversations, and heartfelt energy, a true celebration of courage, community, and the stories that unite us.
From the moment guests entered the venue, warmth filled the air. Families, friends, and local supporters gathered not only to celebrate Unpacking the Weight Within but also to share their own experiences of growth and resilience. Every handshake and exchange reflected the same message woven throughout Jonnice’s book that healing begins when we open our hearts and connect through truth.
During her readings, Jonnice’s voice carried the emotion of each word, bringing her story to life and drawing listeners into her journey of letting go and moving forward. Laughter mingled with moments of quiet reflection, creating an atmosphere that felt both intimate and inspiring.
