Day 5 of #28DaysOfBlackLove is #UndocuDay, a day to support Black undocumented immigrants.
"Somehow, folks (even some of our own) don’t think of Black people when we hear about DACA or TPS. Well the truth is, everyone knows someone who is an immigrant whether they are undocumented or not and there isn’t a country where you can’t find Black people in this entire world." - BYP100 activist Trinice McNally, at the blog post linked below.

Day 4 of #28DaysOfBlackLove is #HealingIsLove.
We cannot underestimate the power of healing. As BYP100 activist Jonathan Butler says, “Through the process of healing, we engage in the work towards freedom by restoring health not just in our bodies, but also in our minds and spirits.”
Whether it’s starting a healing circle with a close group of friends, going to therapy, or making a commitment to getting more sleep each night, we stand with you as you embark on your journey of healing.
Check out a BYP100 activist explain ‘Omugwo,’ a period of 3-6 months in Igbo tradition where mothers/parents are tended to by family members after childbirth.
Day 2 of #28DaysOfBlackLove is #HonorBlackCaregivers.People who take care of others, who nurture, raise children, and hustle to make ends meet for their children, family, and loved ones.Parents and guardians. Siblings who look after one another. Raising a family and giving to others constantly ain’t easy. We love you, and we thank you.If there’s a Black caregiver in your life - whether it’s a parent, grandparent, teacher, coach, or auntie - reach out to them and thank them today.Do you have a story of a loving caregiver in your life that you’d like to share?
“Come celebrate with me that every day something has tried to kill me and has failed” - Lucille Clifton
Today is the start of Black History Month, and MelaNation, the gildapapoose collective, and Black Youth Project100 are inviting you to celebrate a little bit differently this year.
#28DaysOfBlackLove is a month-long social media celebration of different Black communities inspired by BYP 100 activist and gildapapoose collective founder Je Nae’ Taylor’s past video series about love and relationships. Each day of February will be dedicated to a particular kind of love, and each morning activists from BYP100, MelaNation, and the gildapapoose collective will post videos or short love letters along with the day’s corresponding hashtag to our social media.
Join us in this celebration! How do you plan on celebrating #28DaysOfBlackLove?

How to tell if you are emotionally abusive
I feel we talk about signs of abuse from the victims standpoint but not from the abusers standpoint. In order to stop emotional abuse and recognize when we engage in unhealthy behaviors I made this list.
Do you react to important people in your life by ignoring them completely and not acknowledging their presence? Especially if they do something you don’t like?
Do you feel that your partner/friends/family members are the cause of your bad moods or frustration?
Does your partner/etc “do things the wrong way”?
Do criticize your partner/etc for being unreliable or a bad person?
Do you feel you have to constantly overlook your partners flaws in order to be around them?
Are you frequently accused of being “moody” or “hard to please”?
Do your partners complain that “nothing they do is good enough?
Do your partners appear to avoid you when you are angry or upset rather then comfort you?
Do you negatively comment on their intelligence or appearence? Either in private or in front of others.
Do you blame them when someone goes wrong?
Do you ever use phrases like “I could just hit you right now” or “I”m so mad I could punch something”?
Do you ever punch walls/throw things in front of your partner/etc?
Do you leave during fights and not inform of where you are going and when you will be back?
Do you behave the same alone with your partner that you do if you were in front of your friends or in public?
Have you frequently accused your partner of being too sensitive?
How often is your partner praised and complimented by yourself?
Do you think your partner spends too much time with friends and family?
Do you feel your partners friends and family are trying to drive you apart?
Do you actively comfort your partner when they are upset or angry even if you don’t really understand why they feel the way they do?
If your partner brings up a behavior that bothers them do you respond by discussing how to change it or do you respond defensively?
Do you have difficulty apologizing?
All of these things are abuse tactics. Obviously even the healthiest of us will do these sometimes but if any one becomes a regular habit that’s when the problem starts.
this is super important, i feel like this website makes it easy to put yourself in the role of the victim but never the abuser. It’s also important to note that being a victim does not preclude you from being an abuser.
I find this esp. important. I’ve exhibited some of these behaviors. I know abuse perpetuates abuse and that victims of abuse learn abusive behavior. I also know that having mental illness can make reacting and dealing with feelings even more difficult. That being said: being mentally ill does not mean you cannot be held accountable for your actions. Nor does being a survivor of abuse. I gotta take care of myself & heal and recognize how trauma and mental illness plays a role in how I treat others. Being a victim doesn’t mean you cannot be an abuser too.
this is the most important post on this website.
Thank you for this.
