It can feel overwhelming knowing where to begin. Social media is an easily accessible resource for expanding your knowledge. Whatever types of accounts you enjoy following (food, fashion, humor), look to Black influencers to learn more. Many streaming services like Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix include easy-to-browse sections of content from Black filmmakers. Make it a goal to consume a variety of content. If your budget allows, seek out local and national Black-owned businesses to support. Whether it’s a café or a clothing brand, open your wallet to show support. Purchase books by Black authors, preferably from Black-owned bookstores. Make it a goal to continue these practices beyond February.

Immerse in an Invigorating Thermal Journey at Scandinave Spa Whistler

The glittering green pines and burst of jasmine lake beyond almost made me forget about the aches in my legs that slowly developed after the promised hour-long hike ran into the third hour. And, oh, there were my hips, showing up to remind me I was no longer in my 20s. I didn’t mind, though, because the vision that surrounded me during our guided walk through Garibaldi Park to Cheakamus Lake in Whistler, British Columbia, with Mountain Skills Academy and Adventures proved worthy of a thousand postcards.
