“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation…” – Audre Lorde
As we consider the many ways that we can each find strength in culture and heritage, we would like to start this edition of the Family Corner newsletter by recognizing the words of Audre Lorde. A powerful Black feminist essayist and poet, Lorde directly and unapologetically confronted injustice in the form of racism, sexism, classism and homophobia through her writing and activism.
How do you celebrate your cultural pride and the power of your community? We can leverage both of these protective factors to support ourselves and our young people. Doing so is essential during times of societal instability and uncertainty. We recognize that stress levels are rising for many, and we have gathered articles and resources to help.
