This Week We’re Unpacking: The Second Week of Black History Month
Hi There!
I am sending a big welcome to all of the new members of our community! As many of you know, we are in the 2nd week of Black History Month and the 2nd week of our 28 Day challenge with Girlboss. You can read more about it here.
Diving In: The primary reason I implemented this challenge was to help immerse you in the Black community and Black culture. As an ally, you must choose at least 5 action items throughout the challenge - it shows your commitment to understanding Black culture and ultimately dismantling racism. If you haven't done so already, please take a few minutes today to select your challenge items and share them via Inclusion Unpacked on Instagram.
Recap from Last Week: One of the tasks last week was to follow Elaine Welteroth on Instagram. Take it a step further and learn about her work via this short clip.
This Week’s Challenge:
Feb 8: Shop @phenomenal
Feb 9: Learn about Black Wall Street (and ask yourself why it doesn’t exist today)
Feb 10: Donate to @bailproject
Feb 11: Watch @lavernecox Presents "The T Word"
Feb 12: Discuss the Importance of BHM in your Community
Feb 13: Follow Activist @rachel.cargle
Feb 14: Reflect on the most inspirational story you've learned thus far!
Inclusion Unpacked Community Updates
Inclusion Camp (coming soon!): We are preparing to host monthly conversations with this community called "Inclusion Camp"! This will be your opportunity to ask in-depth diversity-related questions and get real-time feedback. Stay tuned for more information in next week's newsletter.
