“Without community, there is no liberation…” - Audre Lorde 

These days, it can feel harder than ever to connect with friends. Life is overwhelming—work, responsibilities, and the distance between us can make it seem impossible to prioritize our relationships. But here’s the truth: connecting with friends is one of the most powerful ways to sustain ourselves. It’s what will save us, even when things feel hard.

Whether it’s a call, a text, or even a friendly exchange with a stranger, take a moment to reconnect. As you do, think about how you can begin prioritizing those bonds more often. 

We also invite you to consider gathering with friends for a Liberation Table. This new tradition for Black people of the African Diaspora brings us together as friends and family over a meal rooted in African diasporic traditions.

Let’s start healing ourselves, one connection at a time.

TODAY’S PRACTICE: Call or text a Black friend :-).
