Hi everyone!
We hope you are all safe, happy, and healthy this week. As you may know, this month is Black History Month, an important time to further our understanding of power, privilege, supremacy, oppression, and equity. For the rest of the month, we’re proposing the 21-Day Racial Equity Habit Building Challenge from www.eddiemoorejr.com. For 21 days, we encourage you to do one action to educate yourself and to actively unlearn racial bias. On the website linked below, you can find many different options in order to read, listen, watch, and engage in order to understand white privilege and white supremacy. You can also find a printable tracking chart in order to help you stay on course!

We also have another upcoming event entitled Bridging the Divide. It will take place on February 19th from 1-2pm and will include a talk-story with past Peace corps Language and Cultural Facilitator Fahzeela Mohamed. We will also be hearing from Damian Owens who served as a Peace Corps Health Education Facilitator in Guyana from 2015-2017. Stephanie Sang, the Peace Corps recruiter at UH Manoa who also served in Madagascar from 2016-2018 will be moderating the event. Join us for this free event!
Remember, in order to change the world, we need to take the action into our own hands.
“There is no social change fairy. There is only the change made by the hands of individuals.” –Winona LaDuke
Have a fantastic day!
