October holds space for many identities and causes:
- Breast Cancer Awareness Month
- Hispanic Heritage Month (ends Oct 15)
- Autism Awareness Month
Let’s take a moment to hold these stories with care:
- Breast cancer: Black women are 40% more likely to die from it because of issues with access to care. Early screening saves lives. Take this as a reminder to take care of yourself.
- Hispanic communities: Face language and access barriers, even more so with the stigma surrounding immigration right now. Let’s uplift bilingual resources and cultural healing.
- Autism: Neurodiversity is not a deficit. Support looks like inclusion, not just awareness.
Your LivingScript: This month, elevate voices you don’t hear often. Equity begins when we listen.
