Introduction

Get ready to shine on National Slay Day, a brand-new holiday we’re thrilled to celebrate on August 15! Inspired by the power of self-expression and the modern pop-culture phenomenon of “slaying,” this date was chosen to honor the fierce spirit that drives us to break boundaries, show off our talents, and lift each other up. The idea behind “slay” has roots in entertainment, fashion, and social movements that encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zones and confidently own who they are. Over time, the word evolved into a rallying cry for empowerment—reminding us all to support one another and create a world where each of us can sparkle and succeed.

On National Slay Day, we’re all about embracing individuality, sparking creativity, and championing an inclusive community. Whether you’re picking up a new hobby, sharing your artwork with the world, or simply celebrating a friend’s unique gifts, the spirit of “slay” lies in appreciating what makes each of us special. So mark August 15 on your calendar, gather your confidence and imagination, and get ready to celebrate with a flourish—because this is your moment to shine brighter than ever before!
