February is Black History Month

Happy Black History Month! As a diversity, inclusion, and inclusion professional that centers belonging in my DEIB work, I love months that honor our history and heritages. For me, they tie in perfectly with a mindfulness practice.

Centering voices and perspectives all year round is, of course, important; we should never relegate any group of voices to a particular month in the calendar. Instead, Heritage months, for me, provide a concrete reminder to not just include voices in our work, but to celebrate them. Heritage months are joyful, thrilling reminders that the outcome of our work together is a manifestation of one of my favorite definitions of love: a non-possessive delight in the particularity of another.

And so I'm happy to joyfully wish you a happy Black History Month... and to also share with you a gift!

Breaking Bias with Mindfulness

Just as last month, I'm centering a free meditation, and encouraging you to let it ground your work and thoughts throughout the month of February. Breaking Bias with Mindfulness is an introduction to the ideas that underlie every piece of our work: the PRISM toolkit. 

You might have read about the PRISM toolkit before now, but I encourage you, this month, to let your heart sit with it. What is it calling you to do, and learn.... and, perhaps even more importantly, to be?

I'd love to hear from you throughout this journey, wherever it takes you. I also hope you'll get in touch with us if this sparks an interest with you in going deeper -- reach out to info@bemorewithanu.com if you'd like to talk with our team about what's next for you!
