As we celebrate Black History, we'd love to talk about some books that have changed the team at Stay in Your Lane. We have learned, grown, and enjoyed. Today is: Take My Coffee Back: Reflections on Tupac, Musical Theater, Faith, and Being Black in America, by Tyler Merritt We adore Tyler. Tyler shares his life stories as a Black man in America in his book. His famous videos, "Before You Call the Cops" and "Walking While Black," show what he's been through. He tells his stories with honesty and humor, making it easy to understand what it's like to grow up Black. This book is good for anyone who wants to learn about this experience in a simple yet deep way. Tyler is funny authentic, and smart. Check out his YouTube videos. Grab this book. Let us know how much you loved it like we did.

This month, and always, it is important that we all consider what it means to be a true ally and ways that we can support the efforts and opportunities of others. 🖤 As February unfolds, it's the perfect time to reflect, honor, & celebrate the profound contributions of Black individuals to our history, culture, and society. #Blackhistorymonth isn't just about recognizing the past; it's about embracing the present & shaping a more #inclusive future together. By embracing #diversity and celebrating Black heritage, we not only enrich our workplace culture but also contribute to a more #equitable & inclusive society. #DiversityandInclusion #InclusiveWorkplace #UnityInDiversity #EducationForAll #EqualityAndJustice #CulturalAppreciation #ProgressThroughUnity #VIRAInsight #cultureofcare

✨We know the stories of brilliant Black folks who have left a bright impact will never dim. And it is just as important to share modern-day stories of Black brilliance with our kids. Why? 1️⃣ Present Presence: When we spotlight contemporary Black leaders and creators, we're telling our kids, "Look, your brilliance is recognized and celebrated right here, right now." We show them that their talents and dreams aren't just for the future; they shine bright today. 2️⃣ Possibilities in Today's World: By sharing stories of those making waves in our current times, we help our kids see the endless possibilities awaiting them. It's not just history; it's living proof that Black is brilliant. 3️⃣ Meeting Living Ancestors: Imagine the power of our children meeting their living ancestors – those who are currently shaping our world. It's an opportunity for them to connect, to understand firsthand the journey of brilliance, and to see that they too can be trailblazers in their own right. 🤔Need some inspo? Check out our book, "B is for Black Brilliance." It's packed with stories of modern Black ancestors. Let's give our kids the gift of knowing that their brilliance is seen, valued, and has the power to shape the world.

Black History unfolds daily, but February is our dedicated spotlight—a time to illuminate the past, honor the present, and envision a future of empowerment. Let's own our education, shifting from a focus on what has happened to celebrating what we've achieved. This month, contribute to trauma HEALING, not dumping by “acknowledge experiences, integrate them, and promote personal or collective rebirth.” Here our 3 ways you can contribute to Trauma Healing this Black History Month: ✊🏾 highlighting successes of black people that have came as a result of what our ancestors have experienced (i.e the first black person to …) ✊🏾 engaging in tough conversations through cultural vehicles like music. ✊🏾 Get creative in sharing a diverse narrative and don’t get caught in the trend of sharing the same information. There is so much richness to Black History that we shouldn’t be limited to just prominent figures such as MLK Jr. , Malcom X and Harriet Tubman. This month let’s make a true impact! #blackhistorymonth #blackexcellence #blackhistory365 #fortheculture
