Where do we go from here?
A day of Reflection & Resilience.
Monday January 20, 2025 | 12pm-2:30pm
This year, Love Your Magic, instead of a day of service in honor or Dr. Martin Luther King Day, invites you to pause and reflect. On January 20, we are hosting “Where Do We Go From Here?” a day of nurturing our souls and preparing for the hard work ahead.
This wellness gathering for Black and Brown girls is inspired by Mariame Kaba’s call to let challenges radicalize us rather than lead us to despair. In the face of uncertainty, this event focuses on deepening self-love, building community and nurturing hope.
Together, we’ll fill our cups, find strength in our collective power, and chart a path towards equity and justice. Black and Brown women have always been the backbone of change — let’s honor that legacy and build the resilience we need for the challenges to come.
Join us as we reflect, heal and prepare to forge ahead.
Let’s hold on to each other, heal, and move forward with joy and purpose, honoring the legacy of those who paved the way for justice.

Let This Radicalize You: Organizing and the Revolution of Reciprocal Care by Mariame Kaba (Author), Kelly Hayes (Author),
What fuels and sustains activism and organizing when it feels like our worlds are collapsing? Let This Radicalize You is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe.
The book is intended to aid and empower activists and organizers as they attempt to map their own journeys through the work of justice-making. It includes insights from a spectrum of experienced organizers, including Sharon Lungo, Carlos Saavedra, Ejeris Dixon, Barbara Ransby, and Ruth Wilson Gilmore about some of the difficult and joyous lessons they have learned in their work.
For this book and other culturally curated, radically influenced and locally inspired books, we invite you to visit Just Book-ish in Boston.
