Your thank you note.
The moment has arrived....
Every four years, it happens. Leap Day. Time itself breaks wide open. ...a sacred moment in time for us to do something special.
Today, we launch a covert collective action to thank Black women for holding up the world. What better day to start! A magical 29th day. ...nestled between a month of Blackness and the prequel to all things divinely feminine in March, Oh, the energy os right!
HOW TO CELEBRATE:

...by tomorrow, March 1, 2020 — the official day that we've taken for ourselves - the world will be swirling with stories of Black girl glory. Together, we will create a groundswell of gratitude that inspires Black women around the world to follow our lead.

@vanessatreks thank you for showing me how to march to the beat of my own drum. Always. For twenty years. It's like you are wearing drill team pompoms on your boots every day of life. Just high stepping across the globe. And it's so much fun to see you march. Thank you for being so brave all these years. #thankblackwomen #bwad #girltrek
Let's get it — all day today AND tomorrow! Write as many thank you notes as you can this weekend.
We will read our favorites live on-air tomorrow at 3pm PT/6pm ET on our Facebook page called GirlTrek: Healthy Black Women and Girls.
