Gamma Xi Omega Chapter member, Natasha, loves adult coloring books when she wants to unplug and relax her mind. The stress of work and personal life can take a toll sometimes, but taking a step back and engaging in something as simple as coloring for 30 minutes helps to recalibrate and clear her mind. ✍️🏾
