May and June are the months that we celebrate and reflect on the extraordinary contributions and unwavering love of Black mothers, fathers, and families. Within the Black community, these occasions hold special significance, providing an opportunity to honor the unique experiences, resilience, and values that shape our families.

MOTHERFIED

The Power of Black Maternal Love in the World
We pay tribute to the extraordinary love and strength of Black mothers. Black mothers have long been the backbone of the world and their families, providing unwavering support, guidance, and nurturing care. From instilling values of courage and self-worth to passing down cultural heritage, Black mothers have played a pivotal role in shaping the lives of their children. Their sacrifices, wisdom, and unconditional love have created a legacy of resilience, inspiring generations to overcome adversity and strive for greatness.

DADICATION

Celebrating Thriving and Focused Black Fatherhood
The vital role of Black fathers and father figures have played in the lives of their children and within the Black community cannot be overlooked. Contrary to negative stereotypes, Black fathers have shown generations of love for their families. They have been providers, protectors, and mentors to their children. Black fathers are and have been present, and actively involved with family. Their presence is important providing positive male role models. We’re thankful to Black fathers for the impact they have on the lives of their children.

FAMILISM

The Strength of Black Families in America
We celebrate the loyalty, strength and unity found within Black families. There is a rich history of resilience, solidarity, and communal support in the Black family. In the face of adversity, they have fostered a sense of belonging, love, and cultural pride. Through generations, Black families have created their traditions, passed down ancestral knowledge, and provided a strong foundation for success. They have a sense of collective identity and commitment to one another, reinforcing the strength of togetherness.

Motherfied, Dadication, and Familism highlight the exceptional impact of Black mothers, and fathers, as well as the strength of Black families in the world. We will continue to cherish, respect and love one another, nurturing the bonds that strengthen us and continue to inspire future generations.

Peace and blessings!
