Just as on July 4th Americans celebrate their independence, so is July 27th to be celebrated—a day to celebrate independence from the abuser. July 27th, National Love is Kind Day is the day to:

Celebrate for all victims of domestic violence/domestic abuse their FREEDOM and INDEPENDENCE from their abuser.

Recognize our right to be treated with KINDNESS. Because real love is kind, not terrorizing.

Realize that kindness is the path to healthy and safer relationships, families, society, and the world.

Today Love Pono Student Assistants Alex and MJ have the pleasure of speaking with Rosie Aiello, the co-founder of the Love Is Kind Network and movement. She is on  global movement to inspire and impact 100M women with their children to release the shackles of abuse, learn to become 100% fully expressed and believe that they deserve to be treated with kindness.To learn more or take the pledge or both; visit https://theloveiskindnetwork.com or bit.ly/LIKPledge

Happy Summer Leeward! Our Talk Tuesday Series for June is: PRIDE Month, All about LGBTQ+! The whole month we will focus on various topics regarding the LGBTQ+ community and their experiences with unhealthy or toxic relationships. This week our topic is Beyond Labels: Unmasking Bisexual, Pansexual, Gay, and Lesbian Stereotypes.  

June is Pride Month! Thank you to our guest speaker Dr. Sara Vogel for sharing her journey and experiences. Sara and Christynn speak out on the stereotypes that they’ve faced in their own ways. Dispelling myths associated with bisexuality, pansexuality, being gay, and being lesbian. By finding ways to navigate coping skills through humor and education. We discuss ways of establishing emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual boundaries. We highlight the importance of self-care, self-acceptance, and seeking professional help when needed. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community, know that you are loved and valued just the way you are. You deserve to live a happy and fulfilling life, free from discrimination and prejudice. Remember that there are people who support you and stand with you, whether it be friends, family, or allies. Embrace your authenticity and be proud of who you are. You are not alone, and your existence is a beautiful and important part of this world. Keep being you, and never let anyone make you feel otherwise.
