Be Well! Sharing with Care They partnered with GreenlightCard so check out their post! “To close out Mental Health Awareness Month, we’ve partnered with , the number one family finance and safety app.

A lot of us carry financial stress, mental load, caregiving responsibilities, burnout, and uncertainty all at once, while still showing up for the people we love. That’s not a weakness to be overwhelmed by that; it’s deeply human.

You don’t have to do this all alone, love. You deserve support during seasons like this.”

Sharing with Care. Six years after ’s murder, communities of color are still living with the same conditions people rose up against in 2020 and long before it. While many institutions have walked back on the commitments they made, communities never had the option to move on — which is why the support, funding and promises made in response still need to be sustained. Join us in resourcing liberation at the link in bio.

Sharing with Care Happy Memorial Day!
Did you know the first Memorial Day was celebrated by African Americans? On May 1, 1865 in Charleston, South Carolina, formerly enslaved African Americans showed their gratitude “for the sacrifice of Union Soldiers who died as POWs in Charleston’s Confederate prison camp.” Today we name Black people in memoriam, and we honor all people no matter gender, race, or creed those who paid the ultimate sacrifice that we might pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
