Rollins is hosting this event to use her talents to heal others during the pandemic. She said, "My goal is to use my talent or services to help anyone suffering with any mental illness. Given that we are still going through a pandemic, I still try to achieve my goal by following proper safety protocol." Due to COVID-19, only a maximum of 30 guests can be inside the venue at a time. Attendees must also follow safety protocol by wearing masks and staying six feet apart from other guests. Hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes will be available for use.
