HTI Catalysts

This February, we’re gathering for a four-part Black History Month series with Leading 4 Justice — a space to learn, reflect, and connect through stories that still shape our world today.

In moments when many of us are asking what is ours to do, Black history offers lessons in resistance, creativity, courage, and imagination.

✨ Four sessions. Four themes. One powerful month.
- We Resist!: Tomorrow, Feb 3 | 12–1pm
- The Harlem Renaissance: Feb 11 | 7–8pm
- Changemakers: Feb 17 | 12–1pm
- Afro-Futurism: Feb 25 | 3–4pm

Each gathering has its own date and registration, so you’re welcome to join one or all four.

Come ready for stories, interactive games, meaningful conversation — and giveaways 🎉
🔗 RSVP through the link in our bio.

Day 3 | December 28
Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility)

Ujima reminds us that community is something we do, not just something we belong to.

It shows up when people listen closely, step into complementary roles, and take shared responsibility for what needs to be done. It’s the quiet coordination, the mutual support, and the willingness to say: your problem is my problem, and we’ll figure it out together.

When everyone’s voice is heard, the load becomes lighter, and what once felt overwhelming becomes possible through collective care and action.

🎵 Today’s song: “We Are” by Jon Batiste
It reminds us, just as Barack Obama often does, that we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

💬 Reflection prompt:
Describe a moment when listening helped you and others figure out how to share the load. What became possible when everyone’s voice was heard?

Reflect, then join the conversation by sharing in the comments 👇
