This Week We’re Unpacking: Black History Month
February is Black History Month, and I’m excited to have teamed up with Girlboss to bring you a 28 Day Black History Month Challenge!
Each week, I will share challenge to-do’s in this newsletter.
About The Challenge: I wanted to create a challenge that was both educational, and celebratory of Black culture. As Black people, our stories are more than our struggle. We are culture creators, artists, activists, and entrepreneurs. My goal is to amplify all aspects of our beautiful, multifaceted community.
Although this is being shared with you on the 2nd. You can commit to the challenge now!
