Happy International Black Women’s History Month! Created in 2016 by tech consultant Sha Battle, the holiday is a celebration of the achievements, history, and contributions of Black women in society. This April, celebrate not only the influential Black women in your life. Make room to celebrate yourself, regardless of where you are in your journey.

In a world that too often dismisses feelings as unreliable, we, as Black women, know that feelings are sometimes the truest, non-tangible thing in the room. Intuition is protection for women, both a skill and a guiding force that points us to safety.

The practice of self-love in our lives builds our capacity for not only treating ourselves better but also properly giving and receiving the love that we deserve. This February, we’ve curated a series of resources to help you reclaim your power with self-love, fall more in love with yourself, and fill your cup with care and affection.

Welcome into 2026. January reminds us that growth does not require urgency; it requires presence, imagination, and trust in what’s unfolding. May this month be a reminder that dreaming is an act of resistance, joy, and Black womanhood.
