Spirituality is not about perfection—it’s about presence. It’s about being fully aware of who you are, embracing both your light and your shadow, and committing to continuous growth. You don’t have to be a saint or live in perfect harmony to be spiritual. What matters is your intention: to live with love, compassion, and empathy. It’s about being mindful of your actions, reflecting on your experiences, and making conscious efforts to evolve with each passing day.

There will be times when you fall short, and that’s okay. Spirituality is not about being flawless; it’s about owning your mistakes, learning from them, and moving forward with a heart full of humility. The true essence of spirituality lies in the willingness to grow, to face your shadows, and to always act from a place of love and integrity.

In what ways have you embraced imperfection in your spiritual journey? How do you cultivate mindfulness and self-compassion when you make mistakes? Let’s share our reflections below and remind each other that growth comes through every moment of imperfection.

Racism Isn’t Just Offensive. It’s Deadly.

The President of the United States shared an AI-generated video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. The White House dismissed the outrage as “fake.”

But here’s what’s real: racism kills.

At the Black Women’s Health Imperative, we know that dehumanizing Black people isn’t just about offensive imagery. It’s about the systems and beliefs that lead to Black maternal mortality rates three times higher than white women. It’s about the medical gaslighting that dismisses our pain and ignores our symptoms and much more.

A study published last month in JAMA Network Open found that cumulative stress and inflammation account for nearly half of the elevated mortality risk among Black people. This is “weathering,” the way chronic exposure to racism literally weathers our bodies, causing premature aging and early death. When even a former President and First Lady can be reduced to racist caricatures, it sheds light on the chronic stress that is wearing us down.

This is the context in which the Black Women’s Health Imperative fights for equitable care.
We’ve been doing this work for 42 years, and we’re not backing down now. If you believe Black women deserve better, if you believe Black women’s Health is imperative, then we invite you to support our work.

MacKenzie Scott continues to redefine philanthropy with her massive and strategic donations to institutions dedicated to promoting education and equity. In November 2025, she made a significant $38 million donation to Spelman College, a leading historically Black college for women in Atlanta. This contribution is part of a broader initiative, where Scott donated approximately $387 million to eight HBCUs over a short span of time. Her ongoing commitment to advancing education, especially for marginalized communities, is demonstrated through these substantial gifts, which will directly support scholarships, student access, and technology upgrades at the recipient institutions. Scott’s philanthropy, which has totaled billions since 2019, exemplifies her focus on addressing systemic inequities and empowering communities through education. These gifts further solidify her legacy as one of the most impactful philanthropists of the 21st century.
