At Lockstep, we often talk about the concept of "leading from where you are." We simply cannot wait to be told what to do, when to do it, or how to start the work of anti-racism. The time is now.

How many of these words resonate with you? Respect. Integrity. Love. Compassion. We each have a sphere of influence, and that is where we start.

It starts with ME. Learn more about Dr. and Coretta Scott King's legacies and join the movement to advance justice and equality today and every day. The King Center

Justice takes all of us, and it starts with each of us.

One of the reasons genuine support is so valuable, is someone else is ready and able to carry the ball when you need to rest.

This is so important --> When you need to rest, REST.

We are in this for the long haul and must be healthy and strong to challenge systems of oppression and create sustainable change.

When you are healthy and well, carry the ball for another. Don't just talk about it; do it. And when you need to rest...REST, refuel, then go after it even stronger.

Step by step, we will do this. Together. ❤🖤🤎

Today, I would like to talk about exhaustion.

Are you comfortable sharing your pronouns and asking others to share theirs? Using correct pronouns honors and celebrates people's multiple, intersecting identities and demonstrates true compassion and care for one another.

It can be as simple as, "Hi! My name is Jill, and I use she/her pronouns. How should I refer to you?"
