Community
As social creatures, it is natural for us to have the desire to gather in ways that make us feel whole. When you meet the people who make you feel like your full self, you hav efound your community.
This entire weekend is about community. Our commuity. Many of the things that I wanted to explore with you all, including emotional and spiritual wellness principles, were contigent on the time that we would spend together. Though we can’t share the same space right now, I have faith that this weekend can still be incredible as we connect virtually and holdeach other accountable for the work that we said we wanted to accomplish.
There are many ways that we can connect. I thought that it would be great to see how other people interact in their communities. This TED Talk is about how the investment in girls and women help to heal an grow communities.
I have also been inspired by the individuals and Black owned companies reaching out to their communities throughout this crisis. It has been really overwhelming to watch the news, but I will continuously find ways to help the people who need it however I can .
Thank you all for being a part of this.
