There wasn’t an episode last week because I was and am listening more than talking. We were muted to amplify voices of BIPOC last week. And I am committed to following, amplifying and supporting Black voices moving forward. This is our 300th episode. Which feels like a big milestone to celebrate, but also an opportunity to reflect and own how I can continue to improve and amplify the voices and work of marginalized people.
Mental Health Resources for the Black community:
The Loveland Therapy Fund - helps cover therapy costs for Black women and girls

BEAM (Black Emotional and Mental Health) - Online Black-centered support and healing

Questions I'm pondering:
- How can I amplify voices of others?
- How can I notice my blindspots and correct them quickly?
- What actions am I taking? Daily? Weekly? Ongoing?
- Making a lot of lists.
- How can I listen more?
- How can I hold myself accountable?
- How can I hold community accountable?
- How can I fight for justice?
