"You are your best thing."
— Toni Morrison
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 also invite you to consider gathering with friends on Saturday, February 21, 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 on an upcoming info session to learn how to practice Liberation Table—a space to reflect, connect, and build something meaningful together.
Let’s start healing ourselves, one connection at a time.
TODAY’S PRACTICE
Choose a cultural artifact and in your journal, reflect on what this item means to you.
Cultural artifacts are physical representations of our memories—items that carry significance beyond their material form. They don't have to be grand or precious heirlooms.
