🖤 Today we’re celebrating and reflecting.
We’re celebrating the end of slavery and honoring the people who have and continue to fight for racial justice and freedom. To our Calm members from the Black community, we see you and wish you space today for joy, rest, and nourishing connection.
We’re reflecting on the traumatic legacy of slavery and the effects of ongoing racism that continue to cause unacceptable harm today. We’re listening and learning to expand our awareness. We’re looking deep within to explore how we perpetuate racism without realizing it and how we can interrupt racism and work towards a more equitable and compassionate world. We’re opening our minds and hearts to transform.
At 10 am PT, the Calm team will gather together for a 10-minute meditation in acknowledgment of Juneteenth. We invite you to do this at the same time if it feels helpful.
We also recommend following these accounts and listening to what they have to share today:
