The #ComplimentABlackWoman Challenge

The #ComplimentABlackWoman Challenge for Black History Month is in full swing on social media. For the entire 29 days of February or some portion thereof, participants pledge to compliment a Black woman with their words, money (by purchasing from a Black woman-owned business or donating to a cause focused on Black women), or time (by offering their time or services for free). It’s free and fun.

One of the most extraordinary things about writing this newsletter every week is that, now and then, I write something that really touches a nerve, and I get to hear from some of you. That's what happened with last week's post.

So, I want to start this week by saying thank you for your encouragement and support. The weight of challenging circumstances becomes much easier to bear when done in community. I don't take that support for granted, and I appreciate you taking the time to read this newsletter.
