“Anytime you get more than a couple of Black women together, you’re creating this powerful mechanism for change.”
— Kimberly Bryant
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 a DM, take a moment to reconnect. And as you do, think about how you can begin prioritizing those bonds more often. We encourage you to use the Liberation Calendar Whatsapp Group.
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. For inspiration, join us February 18th at 7:30 pm ET to learn how to practice Liberation Table—a space to reflect, connect, and build something meaningful together. Register here.
Let’s start healing ourselves, one connection at a time.
