good people share: 0321
this newsletter started with a playlist and calendar of concerts. three years later, it’s a monthly digest of things that inform and motivate me to share with a community of good people.
dear good people,
it’s been a minute. “how you doin” sounds like a loaded question.
after the hiatus, it felt right to burn some digital sage and try something new with this newsletter. to start, i jumped on the substack bandwagon.
a lot has happened since the last edition of good people share that should excite, enrage, exhaust, synergize and inspire us.
let’s hope that everyone’s “we give a sh*t” attitude from 2020 prevails.

faith explains - “in 2020, we saw a lot of people, mainly white people and a lot of other folks who hadn't really understood the ongoing urgency related to racism in the United States and around the world, wake up. I found myself extremely frustrated with what I saw as a lack of direction in what to do with this newfound energy and awareness. I decided to create this toolkit + habit tracker to do my part to point people in a helpful direction on what to do next.”
