Hi everyone. I'd like to share with all of you some information about Living Corporate , a great resource for organizations that plan to amplify and connect with Black and Brown communities. Their approach to media campaigns, both internal and external , is very unique in this space. I encourage you to take a look if this is potentially a part of your strategy (or if is not, how they could be). Check out the case studies if you get a chance--really interesting. https://lnkd.in/gkpBbuWi

On this day, OAR celebrates and honors all Indigenous Peoples and communities all across the country and all OAR participants and their families who are a part of these beautiful communities. Although there is so much to celebrate and be grateful for, we also want to pay our respects and take a moment to also allow room for mourning and grievances for all the ancestors, land, and culture that was taken from Indigenous Peoples and their communities due to the colonization of Indigenous peoples and their land. As a part of OAR’s Upstream efforts, we lift up the voices of all Black, Indigenous, Latine/x/o/a, Asian, and Multicultural (BILAM) people, to create a safe, harmonious community for all to live and thrive. We want to remind our community of the true meaning behind the “Thanksgiving” holiday - that it is a colonized holiday that is a reminder of the harm, violence, and repression brought upon Indigenous Peoples and the theft of their Native lands. Not just today, but every single day, we want to honor and respect all Indigenous Peoples, their ancestors, and all the contributions, culture, labor, and land that belong to these communities, and help dismantle the colonized projection of this holiday. With respect to Indigenous People’s Heritage month, here are some more accounts that you can follow in support of amplifying Indigenous People’s voices: @indigneouspeoplesmovement @indigenouswomenrising @indigenouswomenintech @indigenouswomenhike @nativelovestories @yourkinfolkz @globalindigenousnetwork @illuminative @indigenouseducators @riseindigenous @nativeorganizersalliance @rezilienceorg @decolonizemyself

It is never to late to make a different choice. What are you sacrificing to justify your existence? What are you saying is most important? Are you actually making choices that support this or are your choices compromising these? If the latter, it is not too late. Make a new choice, and set things in the right path! #wiseup #makeachoice #takefreshaction

When my grandma Vicki was struck down and murdered by a 14 year old high school dropout, my world detonated. The very laws of physics came into question. Up was down. Down was up. The center of gravity no longer existed. I was faced with two existential questions: 1. Is it possible after an incident of unimaginable depravity to forgive someone who doesn’t express any remorse? 2. Will it be possible to experience joy again, knowing that time doesn’t actually heal all wounds and you will face certain tragedies (violence, suicide, death of a child, etc) that never leave you? I have lived my life pursuing in thoughts and deeds answers to these burning questions. Every ounce of labor I expend honoring Vicki’s incredible legacy brings a tenfold measure of healing. Part of what I’ve learned is expressed by this physician talking about not working so hard to justify our existence. Rather, it’s about living an examined life with playfulness, and joy in the company of friends, family and loved ones— empathetic and kind to all, no matter what they’ve done. We cannot seek harm for those who harm us or we will never know joy again. We won’t be unburdened by retribution. The obverse is true. We must practice kindness especially to those who don’t deserve it. We will live unburdened and joyful when we seek no harm under any circumstance, and offer love to all those who cross our pass.
