✨ Honoring Black Voices Through Poetry ✨

This Black History Month, we celebrate the legacy of Toni Morrison (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) — a Nobel Prize–winning author, editor, and professor whose voice shaped American literature.

Through novels like Beloved and her lyrical, poetic style, she explored identity, history, and the Black experience with deep compassion and truth. Her work opened doors for generations of Black writers and readers.

Her storytelling reminds us that words can heal, empower, and protect stories that must never be forgotten.

Take a moment today to read a line from a Black author, reflect, and share what speaks to your heart. 🤎

Honoring Black Voices Through Poetry ✨

This Black History Month, LLCWellness celebrates the power of poetry as a tool for healing, reflection, and connection.

Today, we honor James Boom — recognizing his voice, creativity, and the role of poetry in expressing identity, culture, and emotional wellness.

Poetry allows us to slow down, feel deeply, and share our truths. It is a powerful form of self-care and community care.

This month, we invite our community to embrace poetry—read it, write it, and share it as a way to support mental and emotional wellness. 🤍
