KDHX is proud to be the media sponsor for #HEALSTL Resource Fair taking place Sunday, August 4 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. in Strauss Park.

The #HEALSTL Resource Fair will include wellness, arts, and education vendors, as well as a marketplace featuring local goods.

DJ She Beatz(former KDHX DJ and host of She Healz Radio) launched She Healz LLC. in 2021, as a wellness company that creates and implements holistic healing programming, in addition to offering fitness, advisory, and retail services.

#HEALSTL, a resource fair for arts, wellness, and education was launched by the company in 2023 with no budget or team, just a purpose in mind. The purpose of the fair is to promote wellness through arts and education while providing an unbiased and free platform for networking, recruiting, and opportunities among youth, artists, wellness professionals, and creatives in St. Louis. 

"I created #HEALSTL from the ground with no budget, no team, and no gimmicks, just the vision. The goal is to highlight the underdogs within the arts, wellness, and education fields to dispel local nepotism and lead by example regarding presenting genuine opportunities and platforms in St. Louis, Mo.," said DJ She Beatz. 

"The fair itself serves as a liaison between resources and the people who need them. With that in mind, I provided free vendor spots last year and I am doing the same this year. The difference this year is I'm engaging in sponsorships such as KDHX and RAC because the positive results and feedback inspired me to strive for an even better one this year and to actually go for the goals I set for this fair to make an impact every year."

GRAFTON - The director of the Veterans History Project has come to Grafton to contribute to the National Memorial of Military Ascent. Dr. James Smither, a professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, recently stopped by Grafton to film oral histories of local veterans. These videos will then be archived with the Library of Congress and eventually shared in the National Memorial of Military Ascent (NMMA) museum. “I’m basically here as kind of an in-house historian and somebody who could help do oral histories,” Smither explained. “The idea there is, if you’ve got a museum set up, museums need programming. It’s got to be things that engage the community, and an oral history program, especially in this area, which has so many veterans, that’s just kind of the natural thing. And for me, it gives me access to a group of veterans I wouldn’t meet otherwise.” Over the course of his career, Smither has interviewed over
