KWANZAA and SUSTAINABILITY

Kwanzaa Sustainable Climate Action

Today we celebrate the beginning of Kwanzaa! As the followers of Tech4Boomers already are aware, I am a Climate Advocate, and I am happy to share the quote about sustainability at this website https://knotzland.com/ourstory



Just as Kwanzaa encourages unity within communities, Knotzland has unity with material resources. May the interconnectedness of all living beings foster a sense of responsibility for preserving the delicate balance of ecosystems in the New Year.

In addition to exploring themes of unity, Kwanzaa serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of cultural heritage and community resilience, both of which are vital in our collective mission to combat climate change.

JULY 2024 – BIPOC – Mental Health Support

Every year around this time, I make it a point to find out what is available for Mental Health support for the BIPOC community. Bebe Moore Campbell was an advocate who understood the importance of focusing on the issues and needs of this community in order to make a way for resources. Caring is sharing, which I hope you will do with your loved ones, and by passing this information on. There is even more to gain by delving into the resources available.

Below is a quote from the website:
Mental Health America’s 2024 BIPOC Mental Health Toolkit will provide free, practical resources to help navigate mental health stigma, bridge generational differences, dismantle mental health myths, and encourage meaningful conversations.

The toolkit is available for download in English and Spanish at the links below
