Another (short) month has flown by. One that was filled with snowy, solitary walks, puzzles, WFH sweatpants, and cozy time spent with my boys. Also, of course, a whole lot of do-gooding at FEED (virtual) HQ.
February is Black History Month. To mark the occasion, we created a special Black Women in History Tote, helping to support the NAACP with a donation of over $5,200. This tote celebrates and commemorates just a few of the incredible Black women who shaped history. Women who broke barriers, spoke up, and dared to dream of a brighter, more equitable future for other Black women and girls. It’s a tote I’m proud to carry, far beyond the month of February.
We also celebrated Valentine’s Day – a holiday that I recognize is equal parts beloved and hated. Personally, I’m someone who loves it. Especially this year, I appreciated taking a moment to get crafty and send out handmade Valentines to my team, girlfriends and family. A little love care package from afar goes a long way these days.
There’s a lot to be learned from February, in terms of sentiments we should be carrying year-round – love, unity, antiracism, kindness, equity, understanding, inclusion, to name a few. Dare to imagine a world that exemplifies these ideals every single day. Even better, dare to take action (even small ones) to help make that world a reality.
