Hello everyone,
As we welcome the month of February tomorrow, we wish to say Happy Black History Month!! ✊🏾
The 2023 theme is Black Resistance 🙌🏾
Kind Minds Family Wellness celebrates Black history and excellence every day of the year. As community members, we want you to know that you do not have to be Black identifying to reminisce on and be mindful of what is happening within Black communities- all year round!
Therefore, we would like to hearten you to embrace the following acts throughout the year:
Individuals
-Support Black-Owned Businesses
-Learn about Black History in your area, and remain updated on current Black affairs, especially in the areas of continued marginalization, oppression, and exclusions for Black persons.
-Donate - Many Black-led and Black-serving initiatives remain underfunded even in our Region; reach out and ask about the needs in such spaces.
-Volunteer. For many Black-led and Black-serving organizations like ours, volunteers are an integral part of the team. There is room for you to add to the remarkable work, and your skills, time, and experience will be well-regarded.
-Celebrate Black literature, authors, artists, art, and professionals as a whole!
Organizations
-Organize Diversity and Inclusion Events that promote conversations that will bring about changes in spaces such as places of employment and shared spaces in our community.
For the next 28 days and beyond, we want you to remember that Black history is Canadian History, and the African diaspora is core to what we stand for at KMFW. Therefore, we will continue to share various events available in the KW region and surrounding area throughout the month and the rest of 2023!
We will also highlight the Black excellence of the past, present, and upcoming future leaders. Likewise, we will share interviews, discussions, teachings, written materials, and other content from Black leaders in our community and Canada.
Lastly, our internal events/programs that celebrate Black excellence year-round will be highlighted, and they are open for all to participate in year-round 🤎
Kindly,
KMFW Team 🤎
