The Goals of Black Love Day
The goals of Black Love Day include:
- giving us a spiritual alternative to the commercialized Valentine’s Day to unapologetically celebrate “blackness”.
- “black” people to demonstrating black love through celebration, service, apology, forgiveness, and transform self-hatred through the power of self-love, self-care, and self-awareness for 24 hours.
- “white” people to putting “love in action “ demonstration of service, atonement, and reconciliation towards “black” people while inspecting their own racial attitudes, fears, denials, privileges, and behaviors for a 24 hour period.
- increasing peace, stopping violence and returning to love to heal all of our relationships.
We’ve been doing a great job in ending self-hatred among our community. Keep spreading the love!
