Today is the last day of Black History month 2023. Already like that the last 15 mins of the second month of a year that feels like it just started yesterday. The question on my mind is what to do now. The month in the year that is dedicated to spotlighting people who look like me is ending, what am I going to do to act like every day is a day recognizing my contributions, accomplishments, and history along this journey?
I am walking, living, breathing Black His(her)Story in the making. Everything I do and all that I put my energy into now is the story that my life is building. Acknowledging that my actions now are building the life of myself and others that look like me really has me contemplating what I can do. I've been going to events, meeting with people, and thinking deeply about what gaps we as a community have had and lived through. Education, family stability, pipelines to success, and well-rounded support are all things that I can see myself having an interest in and direct effect on.
Creating training that leads to opportunities for employment or supported entrepreneurship would be great to work towards. Family support facilities like community centers, kids and adult camps, and recreational spaces are a must. Pipelines that are a guaranteed bridge to financial gains through potential employment or support will allow for there to be a formulaic approach to retraining and reeducating our community about success itself. Providing the services and subscriptions that I do will add to the available support for those pursuing happiness and creative freedom.
This is the end of Black History month 2023 but the beginning of change making session 2020forever. I am ready to see what putting my total focus into something will yield. I know that betting on black is the best bet and it's also betting on me! Now to continue starting something new for my people!
