PAY IT FORWARD
Lotus Johnson strongly believes in the power of community and giving back. In January 2024, the Pay It Forward program was officially launched, which aims to provide support for those experiencing financial barriers to self-care. All proceeds from this project go toward helping people of all kinds access salon or coaching services, as well as gender affirming care for those in the trans/non-binary community. This project reflects Lotus' commitment to making self-care accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.
​
As a part of Your Actual Self's commitment to serving the community, Lotus has pledged to allocate all gratuity received during salon visits to the Pay It Forward fund. Let's work together to create a brighter future for all.
How It Works:
Anyone can contribute funds of any amount to help those in need. New, unused cosmetics, hair styling & grooming products; and new/gently used clothing items are also welcome as part of the Pay It Forward program.
​
Recipients can draw from these resources by contacting Your Actual Self with a wish list of items or services needed. Services and items are matched on a first come, first serve basis and distributed as available using the honor system.
