We are happy to partner again with the Episcopal Diocese of Central Florida’s Becoming Beloved Community Task Force to present “Allyship 101: The Basics,” an informational and transformative day-long experience which provides a new way to understand race, race-based biases, and the forces maintaining those biases.

Participants will learn the importance of awareness and education in allyship and what they can do today to eradicate racism.

As Black History Month 2026 draws to a close, I wanted to share one of the most beloved and riveting articles from our early days at Medium, penned by the luminous Cocoa Griot. It tells the story of Vicente Guerrero, President of Mexico, and his work conducting the “underground railroad” that led enslaved Americans to freedom in his country.

The quote below is from Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their Eyes Were Watching God” and invites us to dive deeper than romantic love. Hurston, an incredible author, anthropologist, and poet, offers us a treasure trove of insights. Yes, she beautifully explores romantic love, but she also reveals the importance of self-love, courage, and the power we find in uplifting each other, especially in times of adversity.

Today, as we navigate oppressive and lethally chaotic times, we’re witnessing a cycle of oppression that has plagued marginalized communities for far too long. The tactics used against Native Americans, Black men, women, and children, and People of Color echo hauntingly through history.

Let me be clear: Our Human Family stands for love in the face of hate, freedom that confronts oppression, and respect for the dignity inherent in every human being.

If your heart is aching or you are suffering physically from the injustices happening around us, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Try not to be overwhelmed by fear; let love guide you. Reach out to those in need. Stand up and let your voice be heard. Embrace your humanity. Together, let’s choose active love over hate, compassion over indifference.

Let’s support one another and remind each other of our shared humanity. We have the power to create change—but we must choose to use it.

Love one another.
