Claim Your New Badge!
Dear Family,
This week, in Self-Care School, we walked for the caregivers. We walked in the footsteps of Sojourner Truth—abolitionist, preacher, nurse, truth-teller, and one of the fiercest caregivers our country has ever known. A woman who said, “Aren't I a woman?” and forced the world to answer. She fought for the dignity of Black Women and the value of our labor—seen and unseen.
If you walked five times this week? High Five! You embodied that same unstoppable spirit. You’ve earned your Sojourner Truth Badge.
And now you can wear your badge of honor.
The official Self-Care School T-shirt just dropped!
It’s soft, bold, and made to remind the world: You Never Walk Alone.
And if you missed a walk this week. No worries!
You can still listen and catch up this weekend. Here’s what dropped this week:
Day 1: How to advocate in medical spaces
Day 2: Receiving the care you give
Day 3: Adoption and Kinship Care
Day 4: Death & Dignity
Day 5: Care for the caregivers

After you listen, don’t forget to sound off and tell us about your experience
[Leave us a voice note here.] Your story might be the one that sets another sister free.
And before you join us on Monday for the final week of this beautiful 10-week Self-Care School experience, you can join us in the streets across the country this weekend and next as we step out in solidarity with our communities to celebrate Juneteenth!
From Atlanta to LA, we want and need you out there walking with us in the parades, festivals and celebrations that are planned. Help us show the world what this sisterhood looks like.
With you in every step,
Team GirlTrek
