Storms are not to be feared... but embraced. We learn little from the easy moments strewn within the fabric of our lives.

Embracing discomfort in the midst of the pressure... that is what yields growth.

“I’ve been thinking about what’s good. Freedom is good. It’s better than slavery. Forgiveness is good. It’s better than revenge. And hope for the unknown is good, it is better than hatred of the familiar.”

How The Black Girl Hockey Club Went from Social Group to Agents of Change

12 Days of Giving: Throughout December we are highlighting remarkable organizations using sports to change the world for the better, starting with the Black Girl Hockey Club.

Hess is the associate director of community engagement and an adjunct professor at La Sierra University, a small parochial school in Riverside, California. It was only natural that she decided to build a space for Black women in hockey.

She put her expertise in community organizing towards finding a tribe on social media and suggested a meet-up. The Black Girl Hockey Club was officially born at a Washington Capitals game on December 15th, 2018.

“We gathered 45 Black women, their kids, their mothers; we even had a grandmother there. And it was pretty amazing because we had women who were hockey moms from Buffalo, New York. Their kids played hockey in the same city and they didn't even know each other. A lot of times we find Black women involved in hockey feel like they're the only ones, their kids are the only Black kids on their team or they are the only Black women that play in their beer league. So the cool thing about Black Girl Hockey Club is that together we’ve gathered this community.”

A group of Black women in a predominantly white space like an ice hockey arena was a novel sight. The BGHC received a lot of press and support from the NHL’s Hockey is for Everyone diversity initiative. But Hess realized the power they collectively held and the potential to do more than just attend games.

Awesome SI article about both the formation and current initiatives of Black Girl Hockey Club.

Growth.

The growth never stops. No matter who you are, what your path is, where you come from, what your beliefs are – your purpose is to grow and evolve. When you resist growth and your lessons, life itself will make getting comfortable, very uncomfortable. It’s a right, it’s a duty – grow into the best version of your Spirit you possibly can in this lifetime. 🌱
