Friends, #SistoryLessons will be back in two weeks. I've been busy working on an important project about which I'd like to share with you here. It launches November 16.
The "United We Stand" Series
31 Ways to Kickstart our Solidarity
I admit the recent "Blue Wave" election encouraged me that perhaps our resilience can see us through these terrible times, after all.
Riding on a somewhat-renewed spirit of hope and resilience, I wanted to offer some Brave Sis-themed ideas for 2026 resolutions, so join me in committing to solidarity, learning, and transformation for the new year—inspired by some of my favorite Black, Brown, Asian, and Indigenous Foremothers whose valor and bravery inspire us today.
And explore ways to write yourself into the narrative!
The idea around this mini-countdown series is to provide spoonfuls of history, inspiration, and calls to action as we prepare for 2026, a year of rebuilding trust, rekindling solidarity, and emulating our own bravery.
The content is concise, but hopefully, inspiring. Join in the countdown towards a resilient future, rooted in solidarity, rebuilding trust, collaboration, de-centering default whiteness, and most of all, celebrating the spirit and actions of the many Foremothers whose light shines on.
Here’s what is planned for us:
- PART ONE: Reclaiming visibility and confronting erasure (Nov 16-22)
- PART TWO: Moving from performative allyship to Accountable solidarity (Nov 23-29)
- PART THREE: Connecting historical resistance to today's movements (Nov 30-Dec 6)
- PART FOUR: Towards Personal Transformation (Dec 7-11)
- PART FIVE: Stepping into a New Year (Dec 13-20)
These posts be delivered on social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, LInkedIn) and in a slightly longer form on Substack:
📚 Bite-sized Foremother wisdom that will inspire our resilience and unity and give us pride in our legacies
🤝 Helpful hints about allyship, solidarity, and accountability
💪🏾 Personal empowerment mini-coaching moments, rooted in ancestral strength
🔥 Calls to action you can take for 2026
Why did I call it "United We Stand"? Because in 2026, we literally have no choice and no excuses—I think this is our moment to show up for each other with courage, resolve, and commitment.
In addition to the ongoing #SistoryLessons (which will resume after the Thanksgiving holiday) and my forthcoming Substack Series "Less Cringe, More Change: Allyship Moves That Might Actually Build Trust,” I'll be launching the updated self-paced online course the first week of December!
📅November 16 - December 20, 2025

Let's close out 2025 and enter 2026 by committing to solidarity over silence, learning over assumptions, and transformation over comfort.
P.S. Not on Social? The series will be compiled into a free e-book collection in early 2026.
Thanks for your support!
