Black History is American History.
It's your history. It's my history.
It is alive; it is living. It is happening right now. In this moment.
​We are Black History is in the making.
#BHM2023
Education, knowledge, self care and rest are radical acts of resistance in a society that conditions us to be on the go and moving 24/7/365. Hustle culture isn't healthy - for anyone - and it isn't for everyone. Periodt. Taking our time with tasks and things that are important to us should be normalized, encouraged and celebrated more, rather than be scrutinized, criticized, or looked down upon.

Slow down with me this month, with intentional mindfulness, as we practice resisting the urge to rush, to please everyone, to force things that just don't work for us, to make sense of things that may not be ours to understand.
Let's practice:
  • releasing old habits and thought patterns that no longer serve us
  • forgiving ourselves for being imperfect humans in human'ing situations and scenarios
  • being mindfully patient with ourselves and others as we all work towards figuring things out
  • rejoicing in our journeys by truly being proud of how far we've come and sincerely excited about where we're still going
  • celebrating tf out of every win, accomplishment, completed task, deep breath, different choice than a past version of ourself would have made - no matter how small or big
There is a lot going on - personally,  professionally, globally.
​
May this month, Black History Month, be one of renewal for us as we tap into the beautifully unique ways we are living acts of resistance - simply because we choose to shine our shine, stand in our power, and take consistent steps towards living our dreams.
May we all learn, love, grieve, grow, play, slay, forgive, release, speak up, speak out, and shine bright this month.

​May we call-in change, sit in our discomfort with curiosity rather than judgment, allow the experiences we collect this month to transform us by opening our eyes, expanding the width and depth of our hearts, blow our minds, and reverberate in our ears, while inspiring us to do and be better.
