Good afternoon,
And Happy Black History Month!!!
Later today, Benji and I will drive over to Eatonville, one of America’s oldest Black towns. We’ll kick off Theo’s first day of Black History Month at the Zora festival, where he’ll be exposed to various elements of Black culture.
Under Trump’s administration, Black people have been once again painted as incapable and lacking talent — which we know is untrue. Instead of feeding into the anti-DEI nonsense, I decided to repurpose my Black History Month Calendar into a scavenger hunt to encourage others to explore and celebrate the noble contributions Black people have made to this State and country.
I hope you join along! You can get daily clues on my Instagram or Facebook.
Day 1 of the Scavenger Hunt: Look for the oldest bank in Florida, once a safe place for freed slaves to save and grow their wealth.
Talk soon,
Shelby
