Honoring the magic

Especially the magic of the marginalized 👸🏿

Happy Black History Month, my friend! I have been struggling with the writing of this email - it feels important, but also like it is not my place.  We are all welcome to highlight the celebration of the impact that Black folks have on the world, and it is also something that must be honored 365 days a year. 

As someone who has an immense amount of privilege, I've often said that I want to use that privilege to help. This could look like many different things from making donations, to amplifying the voices of creatives of color, to holding the space for marginalized communities to safely express the fullness of their complexity and beauty.  Ultimately, the best way to help is to support these communities in the way that they request.

Striving to support in the way that will best serve the community is a lesson that a very wise friend taught me - and only those with deep roots in those communities can determine what that means. Honoring the magic of those roots is my goal every day..

What are you honoring? Reply and let me know ✨

Honor that magic,
Emily
