Starting off in full reflection mode thanks to this ginger turmeric tea ft. created by one of our BFs Paul, founder of .co.

Black History Month evokes feelings of pride, joy, and gratitude for most. Celebrating Black culture and all its contributors gives us a much-deserved moment to acknowledge how much we have and are doing to make the world a more equitable place for all. Reflection and gratitude should be a 365/yr thing, but for this month of in particular allow us to adorn ourselves centerstage, spotlighting in all its glamor and glory.
