The goals of Black Love Day, Feb. 13th are to offer: 1). a spiritual alternative to the commercialized, Valentine’s day to unapologetically celebrate Blackness. 2) “for so-called” Black people to demonstrate for 24 hours, Black love through celebration, service, apology, forgiveness, and transform self-hatred through the power of self-love, self care and self-awareness; 3) “for so-called White people to put “love in action “ for a 24 hour demonstration of service, atonement and reconciliation towards Black people while inspecting their own racial attitudes, fears, denials, privileges and behaviors; 4). to increase peace, stop violence and return to love to heal all of our relationships.
Handy-Kendi described” “In this new year 2021 and new age, we need the power of Black Love using the heart’s high vibrational energy — way stronger than the low energy of fear, hate, scarcity and separation. Yes, we’ve always had divides, but 2020 exposed a reckoning over hot issues like health equity, racial justice, economic equality, policing, politics, education, competition for limited resources and just “living while black. Insane polarization, fighting, killing over survival ideologies sprawled into our streets and even into the Nations’ Capitol. The 28th Black Love Day will share hope, strengthen Black people’s resilience that Black Lives Matter and fortify our “unity in our diversity”.
“As oppressed people. we have to rise above to heal our race-based trauma of White supremacy/systemic racism while healing our own “divides” of distrust, colorism, tribalism, gang turfs, gender identities, ethnicity and have/have not class differences. Love is a spiritual link that connects tolerance with compassion, so we don’t hurt another to love ourselves or hate because of differences. On Feb. 13, come together to breathe in love, reconcile and bond around solutions to become whole, powerful people again by healing all our relationships”.
