Kalu Gebreyohannes & Blk Girls Green House | Women of Style – lilac + flint

Earlier this year, we spent International Women’s Day inside one of the most calming and restorative spaces in the Bay Area: Blk Girls Green House. Sunlight pouring in, lush plants in every direction, and a sense of grounded joy made it feel like a deep breath for the nervous system.

That feeling is intentional. Kalu Gebreyohannes, co-founder of Black Girls Green House, created this West Oakland oasis as a space for connection, belonging, and wellbeing. It invites us to slow down, come back to ourselves, and root into what makes us feel alive.

So when San Francisco Magazine selected Kalu as one of their Women of Style, we were thrilled to see her recognized for the way she builds community through beauty and hospitality. And when she mentioned Lilac + Flint Skincare as one of her personal skincare essentials in the article, it felt like a shared mission shining through.

Because to us, skincare is not superficial. It is a mindful ritual that supports the nervous system and calms inflammation. In the same way Blk Girls Green House encourages us to breathe and feel held, our products help create space for restoration and reconnection in the middle of daily life.

Style, to us, is not only what we wear. It is how we carry ourselves with inner calm and outer confidence while staying connected to community.

We are endlessly grateful to Kalu for creating a place that inspires that energy throughout the Bay Area and for uplifting women-owned businesses around her.

If you are local, visit Blk Girls Green House to experience that peace for yourself. Wander, breathe, reconnect.
