Today is the first day of Black History Month! Inspired by the leadership of Black voices in the fight for a better tomorrow, today we celebrate the power of our voice—as a tool for care, advocacy, and celebration. Grab that journal! Voiced by Mel Chanté.
Takeaways:
1- Our voice is a powerful tool for connection, advocacy, and celebration.
2- For many of us—especially members of the Black community, as well as other BIPOC, Queer, and Female-identifying folks—our voices have been policed, silenced, or modulated as a way to limit our expression.
3- Use your voice to claim your space in the world. You are worthy of every inch of it!
