We welcome June!
Summer is here - hotter temperatures, steamier moods, brighter days - COVID-19 is still with us. What will your summer look like?
While we're figuring out how to balance keeping safe with enjoying the season, we've got a rollercoaster of eclipses happening during the month that will make things interesting and emotional at the same time.
As a global community, we saw the brutal events of May unite us in a moral understanding of what's right and what's wrong. People are (rightly) fed up and want change, the question is, are you prepared to do the work to get the change we all need? Because it's long-term, labour and emotionally intensive, unstable, unsafe but wholly right.
June's Adinkra symbol of the month is 'Kurotwiamansa' which translates as 'Leopard'. The saying is: "The Leopard gets wet in water, but its spots remain unchanged'. We're going to be deluged with information (good, bad and provocative), bad actors, more stories of injustice and brutality or negative emotions that arise. But we have to remain, just like the Leopard's spots, intact, focused and as a signal that we're here to stay and thrive.
Be safe. Fight for your joy as much as you fight against injustice.
