Inexpensive Fun!
The holiday months have come to an end and our new focuses of the year are in full force. One of those goals is to save more & spend less! So what can we do...
How to Engage with Black History Month
Black History Month is here! Every year we look forward to recognizing the history, culture, and contributions of Black Americans so that we can continue to do so into the year. It is oh so important to learn more about and uplift the experience of Black people every single day. But if you’re not sure where to start, we’re coming at you with a list of ideas to help you engage with Black History month this year:
SUPPORT BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES
.
LISTEN TO PODCASTS BY BLACK PRODUCERS & CREATORS
.
TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT RACE + ALLYSHIP
.
LEARN ABOUT BLACK FIGURES & THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS
.
DONATE TO BLACK-LED CHARITIES & NONPROFITS
.
READ & SHARE BOOKS BY BLACK AUTHORS
.
LEARN ABOUT BLACK WOMEN & BLACK LEADERS
.
ATTEND VIRTUAL BLACK HISTORY CELEBRATIONS
.
LEARN ABOUT BLACK MUSIC HISTORY
.
DO YOUR PART TO CHANGE POLICY + CONTACT REPRESENTATIVES
.
ATTEND BLACK HISTORY MONTH EVENTS + PARADES
.
CREATE A PLAYLIST OF BLACK ARTISTS TO SHARE + ENJOY
.
WATCH A SHOW/MOVIE MADE BY BLACK CREATORS
.
VOLUNTEER WITH BLACK-LED ORGANIZATIONS
.
PRACTICE BEING INTENTIONAL ABOUT YOUR LANGUAGE
.
FOLLOW BLACK CREATORS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
.
CONTINUE ANTI-RACISM EFFORTS AFTER FEBRUARY
We hope this list of ideas is a helpful starting point for your Black history awareness and anti-racism efforts. Our dream is to keep the momentum going after February to celebrate the progress we’ve made and delight in our communities. Practice any of these ideas all year round as we all continue to do our part in the fight for racial equality. May we always work to remind our loved ones and community that the need for racial justice is ever-present and oh so important.
