While there’s a lot of uncertainty ahead, we’re going to get through this week, this month, and this rollercoaster of a year--I promise! To fortify your patience and resilience for the days ahead, here are some suggestions:

I’ve always found civic engagement incredibly inspiring, and never more than over the course of the last year. In the early days of the pandemic, I witnessed the myriad ways Americans came together in the service of our country and each other, as folks got together to sew masks for frontline workers, and mutual aid groups organized to deliver groceries and medicine to vulnerable community members.

this month we're celebrating Pride by spotlighting our LGBTQ+ guests, creators, and community. Additionally we’ll be donating to the three organizations highlighted below. We hope you will join us in championing their efforts.

I don’t think anyone would disagree that this Year of Covid has been uniquely stressful. But Stress Awareness Month isn’t just about recognizing that stress exists in our lives. It’s about differentiating between the kind of stress that can light a fire under us, and the kind that feels like it’s grinding us down.

After a long winter and the exhausting pandemic year surrounding it, good things are finally coming. Good things are already here.

When I find myself run down and stressed out, when I really need to get out of my head for a little while, I call on the wisdom of a guru whose voice has been ringing in my head for my whole life: Jimmy Buffett.

This month, our founder, Jon Staff, is passing the mic to Omisade Burney-Scott, founder of The Black Girls' Guide to Surviving Menopause to share reflections on rest and resistance as Black History Month comes to a close.
