WORDLE: A LOVE STORY

Happy Valentine's Day!

Not all of us can whip up a viral word game as a token of our affection, like Josh Wardle did for his partner Palak Shah. 

But we can all benefit from Josh's gift of love, named Wordle as a play on his last name. You can read the full story of Wordle's genesis here. And if your Valentine's Day is a little raunchier, try Lewdle. Whatever your pleasure, we hope you have a lovely Valentine's Day!

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Black History Month

February is Black History Month, and we are continuing our work in the realm of anti-racism. We just completed the 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge, which encourages you to do one action daily to further your understanding of power, privilege, oppression, and equity. The actions are bite-sized videos, articles, podcasts, and more and generally don't take more than five to 15 minutes to complete.


The theme of this year's Black History Month is "Black Health and Wellness," and one of our activities from the 21-Day Challenge was "Black Men in White Coats," a mini documentary series about Black men in medicine. Each episode is less than five minutes long; check one out and let us know what you think!
